Recent results presented by IceCube have demonstrated the potential of large instrumented volume type detectors for multi-messenger astronomy using neutrinos.

The spectrum of solar neutrinos from the $pp$ chain has been studied in depth by a variety of underground detectors. However, neutrinos from the $hep$ reaction (${}^3$He $+$ $p^+$ $\rightarrow$ ${}^4$He $+$ $e^+$ + $\nu_e$) remain unobserved due to the small theoretical branching ratio ($2\times10^{−7}$ per $pp$ termination).

Efficient detection of neutrons in water is important because of its physics applications.
