What about a Bose Einstein condensate... Some lab managed to slow light to a few cm/s...Doesn't it also slow, or block and stack, neutrinos?
If you combine random concepts, you rarely get something useful. Especially if you do not know what you combine, this is pointless.

To answer the question: in the same than other matter.

So you're not actually detecting the actual neutrino, but it's effect on electrons

By that logic, an ordinary camera doesn't actually detect actual photons, but their effects on a CCD sensor or on silver atoms in photographic film. :oldsmile:

Well what I meant is that a CCD gets hit by photons directly, while the tube amplifiers aren't directly detecting the hits by neutrinos but the hits by photons coming from the water/ice volume.

More like "I'm curious about stuff but I'm not willing to read about it even some introductory explanations such as ones in Wikipedia, and instead I waste other people's time by asking very poorly formulated questions".
