“…Moreover, the density is 0.99 g/cm 3 and thus creates modest boyant forces to the scintillator contaiment vessel when emersed in water. Comprehensive studies of PXE based scintillators were performed in the frame of the BOREXINO project comprising optical properties, radioactive impurities and purification methods [35,36,37,38]. Key results include low trace contaminations (< 10 −17 g U/g), excellent α−β discrimination, and high light yield (310 pe/MeV with 20% optical coverage).…”

In the forthcoming months, the KamLAND experiment will probe the parameter space of the solar large mixing angle (LMA) MSW solution as the origin of the solar neutrino deficit withν e 's from distant nuclear reactors. If however the solution realized in nature is such that ∆m 2 sol > ∼ 2 · 10 −4 eV 2 (thereafter named the HLMA region), KamLAND will only observe a rate suppression but no spectral distortion and hence it will not have the optimal sensitivity to measure the mixing parameters. In this case, we propose a new medium baseline reactor experiment located at Heilbronn (Germany) to pin down the precise value of the solar mixing parameters. In this paper, we present the Heilbronn detector site, we calculate thē ν e interaction rate and the positron spectrum expected from the surrounding nuclear power plants. We also discuss the sensitivity of such an experiment to |U e3 | in both normal and inverted neutrino mass hierarchy scenarios. We then outline the detector design, estimate background signals induced by natural radioactivity as well as by insitu cosmic ray muon interaction, and discuss a strategy to detect the anti-neutrino signal 'free of background'.-1 -
