The first year of Borexino
Borexino Collaboration: D. Franco, et al
TL;DR
Borexino is a real-time detector at Gran Sasso that measured solar neutrinos, specifically 7Be neutrinos, after its first year of operation, providing new insights into solar neutrino flux.
Contribution
This paper reports the first-year measurement of 7Be solar neutrinos by Borexino, demonstrating its capability for real-time low-energy solar neutrino detection.
Findings
Successful detection of 7Be solar neutrinos
First real-time measurement of low-energy solar neutrinos
Implications for solar models and neutrino physics
Abstract
Borexino is an experiment designed to detect in real-time low energy solar neutrinos. It is installed at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory and has started taking data in May 2007. We report the direct measurement of the 7Be solar neutrino signal rate after 1 year of data taking. Implications and perspectives are discussed.
