Abstract
A grant of $77 000 has been awarded by the Atomic Energy Commission in support of a new neutrino‐detection project to be carried out under the direction of Frederick Reines, head of the Department of Physics at Case Institute of Technology. The project will involve the construction of a large liquid counter of the ̌erenkov type which is to be installed in a deep underground location to minimize the effects of cosmic radiation. The detector, with its associated array of photomultiplier tubes, is expected to observe the passage of only one neutrino every few days, while the cosmic‐ray count is expected to be about 500 per hour, even under a thick shield of earth.
