Abstract

Solar or supernova neutrinos incident on an iodine-bearing liquid will produce the noble gas

{}^{127}{Xe}

(

τ_{1 / 2}

=36.4 d), which can be recovered and counted as in the present

{}^{37}{Cl}

experiment. The rate of neutrino reactions per unit volume of detector could be more than an order of magnitude greater than in perchloroethylene. I discuss the new physics that might be learned from such an experiment.
