Abstract
A study of antineutrino interactions in the 15-ft bubble chamber filled with a neon-hydrogen mixture is proposed. This mixture provides good detection efficiency for a neutral component and lepton identification. We request a total flux of {approx} 10{sup 19} interacting protons at the highest available energy for the proposed program. Our program includes the measurement of total cross sections of antineutrino interactions, inclusive and exclusive reactions, which can be described by either charged or neutral currents, pure lepton interactions and searches for new particles and new phenomena. As a first step, we ask for 200,000 photographs at the earliest possible date with a mixture of the order of 30 atomic percent neon in the bubble chamber.
