✦ Synopsis
The detection of low energy neutrinos in a large scintillation detector may provide further important information on astrophysical processes such as supernova physics, solar physics and elementary particle physics as well as geophysics. In this contribution, a new project for Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy (LENA) consisting of a 50 kt scintillation detector is presented.

A large liquid-scintillator detector with 50 kt target mass in an underground location of at least 4000 m.w.e. is considered as a unique tool for low-energy neutrino detection and the search for rare events from astrophysical sources and up to now unobserved processes beyond the Standard Model. In t
