Lead perchlorate is a potentially powerful medium for the study of supernova neutrinos. Lead perchlorate solution may be used as a Cerenkov radiator in neutrino detectors. It offers a large neutrino interaction cross section, transparency, and is relatively inexpensive. Lead perchlorate also offers the possibility of distinguishing between the charged- and neutral-current reactions and measuring the energy deposited by electrons and gamma rays in coincidence with the number of neutrons produced by a neutrino interaction. It is possible by these measurements to separate the charged and neutral current supernova neutrino interactions, distinguish between electron-neutrinos and electron anti-neutrinos, and measure their temperature. We discuss the physical properties of lead perchlorate solutions, address issues pertaining to the preparation and filtering of the solution for use in a Cerenkov detector, and present results from light production and absorption studies.
