<strong>Liquid</strong> Scintillation (versus <strong>Water</strong> Cherenkov)<br />
Cons<br />
Safety: Chemical hazard,<br />
Fire hazard, and Reactivity<br />
Cost:<br />
$2k/ton or $100M for 50 KT<br />
Handling & ES&H<br />
event reconstruction and<br />
PID<br />
Pros<br />
orders <strong>of</strong> magnitudes light<br />
output: smaller detector or<br />
less photo-sensors<br />
<strong>Physics</strong> <strong>of</strong> charged particles<br />
below Cherenkov threshold<br />
Excellent PSD to suppress<br />
background events<br />
Sub-MeV (geo-, solar- and<br />
reactor) neutrinos<br />
