  DANSSino is a simplified pilot version of a solid-state detector of reactor
antineutrino (it is being created within the DANSS project and will be
installed close to an industrial nuclear power reactor). Numerous tests
performed under a 3 GW(th) reactor of the Kalinin NPP at a distance of 11 m
from the core demonstrate operability of the chosen design and reveal the main
sources of the background. In spite of its small size (20x20x100 ccm), the
pilot detector turned out to be quite sensitive to reactor neutrinos, detecting
about 70 IBD events per day with the signal-to-background ratio about unity.
