It has been in operation since June 1992, and is a member of the Supernova Early Warning System. Among other work, the detector should be able to detect neutrinos from our galaxy and possibly nearby galaxies.[1] The LVD uses 840 scintillator counters around a large tank of hydrocarbons.[2] The detector can detect both charged current and neutral current interactions
