Abstract: | Seminal experiments are discussed to prove or disprove the possibility of producing and detecting collimated coherent beams of low-energy neutrinos with the assistance of lasers. Expressions are given for the relative probability that a laser-beam-aligned co- or counter-propagating neutrino-antineutrino pair is emitted instead of a laser photon, during stimulated de-excitations of lasable excited states inside a lasing medium. For a neodymium laser this probability is approximately 10?7. To detect coherent beams of epithermal neutrinos and antineutrinos emitted from a pulsed high-power laser, it is anticipated that resonant non-absorptive stimulated de-excitations of lasing levels by neutrinos can be exploited to register their fly-through in a second near-threshold laser. |
