Abstract

LOREX (LORandite EXperiment) is a geochemical experiment addressing the solar (pp) neutrino flux for the period of 4.3 Ma from the reaction 205Tl + ve → 205Pb + e- with an unprecedentedly low threshold (52 keV) for solar pp-neutrino capture. A decisive step for this purpose is getting the precise, background-corrected ratio of 205Pb/205Tl in lorandite (TlAsS2). This report presents the status of major challenges being addressed, in particular the determination of the paleo-depth of lorandite, including the eroded layer over 4.3 Ma, as well as the choice of appropriate techniques for extraction, separation and quantitative determination of the ultra-low 205Pb concentration in the extracted lorandite samples.
