Description
The development of Water-based Liquid Scintillator could have a significant impact on the sensitivity of future large underground neutrino detectors due to the possibility of building hybrid scintillator/Cherenkov detectors that combine particle tracking with low threshold, improved energy resolution, and low cost. In this presentation the characteristics of such a hybrid detector are discussed, and results from studies of the potential sensitivity of a hybrid detector on long-baseline, solar, supernova, and diffuse supernova neutrino measurements are presented.
