摘要
Prospects for studying, at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory, geoneutrinos, as well as neutrinos from supernovae, by means of a scintillation spectrometer having a target mass of 5000 t are considered. It is shown that the geographical location, a deep position (4800 mwe), and a modest background of antineutrinos from nuclear reactors makes the Baksan Neutrino Observatory one of the best places for performing such investigations. Particular attention is given to the derivation of information about the nature of neutrinos, the possibility of detecting relic neutrinos from supernovae, and the discovery of a hypothetical georeactor.
