Description

Based on our paper (arXiv:2201.06733) we discuss the prospects to take a picture of an extended neutrino source, i.e., resolving its angular luminosity distribution. This is challenging since neutrino directions cannot be directly measured but only estimated from the directions of charged particles they interact with in the detector material. This leads to an intrinsic blurring effect. We discuss the problem in general terms and then apply our insights to solar neutrinos which scatter elastically with electrons. Despite the aforementioned blurring, we show how with high statistics and precision the original neutrino distributions could be reconstructed. Due to the constraints of a poster session, we will focus on a particular question to showcase the results of our paper: What are the prospects to distinguish a point from a ring source the size of the sun?
