Physics Asked on June 24, 2021
As for the title, by which way neutrinos can interact with matter such as, e.g., pseudocumene or other scintillators?
Is it a merely mechanical collision?
Do neutrinos collide with nuclei and how "to see" the collision? Normally collisions involve electromagnetic interactions.
I didn’t find any hint on Wikipedia articles about Borexino or other experiments.
There are two ways to detect a neutrino:
Both of these detection methods depend on weak interactions which are very rare, so a high neutrino flux and a large detector volume is required to produce a useful number of interactions in the detector. Fortunately the flux of solar neutrinos is sufficient to produce useful detection rates. Detection of neutrinos that have originated outside of the solar system is still a very rare event.
The Wikipedia articles on neutrino detectors and neutrino astronomy provide more details.
