TL;DR: ZE3RA as discussed by the authors is a software package responsible for processing the raw data from the ZEPLIN-III dark matter experiment and its reduction into a set of parameters used in all subsequent analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further studies of the OMNIS supernova neutrino observatory: optimisation of detector configuration and possible extension to solar neutrinos
TL;DR: The OMNIS detector as mentioned in this paper was designed to record a large number of mu and tau neutrinos from a supernova burst, complementing other world detectors which observe mainly electron antineutrinos.
