Description
Most neutrino detectors only detect electron-antineutrinos. However, in many situations it would be immensely more useful to detect all neutrino flavors --- e.g., how SNO neutral current data helped solve the solar neutrino problem. I will present some not-fully-ripe ideas towards building such an all-flavor-sensitive scintillator-based detector, leveraging India's unique strength in production of deuterated materials.
