Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 1562–1565 (1996)Salty Water Cerenkov Detectors for Solar NeutrinosSee Also: Erratum Received 28 November 1995; published in the issue dated 4 March 1996 The addition of certain solutes to a water Cerenkov detector will introduce new charge-current channels for the detection of νe's. The experimental conditions necessary to exploit such signals—large volumes and very low backgrounds—should be reached for the first time in SuperKamiokande and the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. I compare some of the more attractive possibilities ( 7Li, 11B, 35Cl) in terms of counting rate, reliability of the cross section, specificity of signal, and potential for distinguishing competing solutions to the solar neutrino puzzle. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
