TL;DR
This paper investigates whether solar neutrinos, specifically boron neutrinos, could pose a significant background in future direct dark matter detection experiments aiming for extremely low event rates.
Contribution
It provides an analysis of the potential impact of boron solar neutrinos as a background in next-generation dark matter searches.
Findings
Boron solar neutrinos could become a relevant background in future dark matter experiments.
The study quantifies the neutrino contribution to the background in the relevant cross-section region.
Neutrino scattering may limit the sensitivity of future dark matter detectors.
Abstract
The coherent contribution of all neutrons in neutrino nucleus scattering due to the neutral current is examined considering the boron solar neutrinos. These neutrinos could potentially become a source of background in the future dark matter searches aiming at nucleon cross sections in the region well below the few events per ton per year.
