<sup>205</sup>Tl in the lorandite (TiAsS<sub>2</sub>) mine of Allchar (Majdan, FYR Macedonia) is transformed to <sup>205</sup>Pb by cosmic ray reactions with muons and neutrinos. At depths of more than 300 m, muogenic production would be sufficiently low for the 4.3 Ma old lorandite deposit to be used as a natural neutrino detector. Unfortunately, the Allchar deposit currently sits at a depth of only 120 m below the surface, apparently making the lorandite experiment technically infeasible. We h ...[more]
