Solar Neutrino Detection with BorexinoAdd to your list(s) Download to your calendar using vCal
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Ilya Mandel. Borexino is an ultra-low background experiment for the spectroscopy of low-energy neutrinos. Its primary physics goal is the real time detection of solar neutrinos with energies below 2 MeV, using 300 tons of liquid scintillator in an un-segmented detector at the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory, in Italy. The real time detection of low energy solar neutrinos can narrow down on the fundamental particle physics of neutrino flavor oscillations, and also probe the internal structure of the Sun. In this talk I will describe the detector and summarize the results obtained by Borexino in recent years, which offer a unique spectroscopic analysis of the solar neutrino flux within a single detector, probing matter at the most fundamental level and providing a powerful tool for directly observing the sun’s composition.
