| dc.description | The standard Big-Bang theory predicts a cosmic neutrino background with an average number density of $\sim 100/cm^3$ per flavor. The most promising way of its detection is measuring the feeble ``neutrino wind'' forces exerted on macroscopic targets. The expected acceleration is $\sim 10^{-23} cm/s^2$ for Dirac neutrinos with a local number density $\sim 10^7/cm^3$. A novel torsion balance design is presented, which addresses the sensitivity-limiting factors of existing balances, such as seismic and thermal noise, and angular readout resolution and stability. | |
