Scientific paper

The use of Cerenkov and scintillation counters to detect solar neutrinos produced in the B-8(e+, nu)Be-8(asterisk) reaction is considered. It is shown that interactions with nuclei of detectors of cascade neutrons generated in muon-induced nuclear showers create a strong background. Methods for suppressing this background are proposed, and it is concluded that, by replacing the water in the Cerenkov counters by carbon-containing material, it will be possible to detect solar neutrinos with a background 1-2 orders of magnitude smaller that in the case of current instrumentation.
