Abstract

Abstract A search for resonant absorption of solar axions by $$^{169}\mathrm {Tm}$$ 169Tm nuclei was carried out. A newly developed approach involving low-background cryogenic bolometer based on $$\mathrm {Tm}_{3} \mathrm {Al}_{5} \mathrm {O}_{12}$$ Tm3Al5O12 crystal was used that allowed for significant improvement of sensitivity in comparison with previous $$^{169}\mathrm {Tm}$$ 169Tm based experiments. The measurements performed with 8.18 g crystal during 6.6 days exposure yielded the following limits on axion couplings: $$|g_{A\gamma } (g_{AN}^0 + g_{AN}^3) \le 1.44 \times 10^{-14}\,{{\mathrm{GeV}}^{-1}}$$ |gAγ(gAN0+gAN3)≤1.44×10-14GeV-1 and $$|g_{Ae} (g_{AN}^0 + g_{AN}^3) \le 2.81 \times 10^{-16}$$ |gAe(gAN0+gAN3)≤2.81×10-16 .

Abstract

The resonant excitation of the 83Kr first excited nuclear level (E = 9.4 keV) by solar axions whose fluxes depend on the axion–electron coupling constant gAe is sought. The γ- and X-ray photons and the conversion and Auger electrons from the excited-level relaxation are detected with a gas proportional counter of a low-background detector in the underground Baksan Neutrino Observatory (Institute for Nuclear Research, Russian Academy of Sciences). As a result, a new constraint $${\text{|}}{{g}_{{Ae}}}(g_{{AN}}^{3} - g_{{AN}}^{0}){\text{|}}$$ ≤ 1.50 × 10–17 (90% C.L.) has been obtained for the axion–electron and axion–nucleon coupling constants, which corresponds to new constraints on the axion mass mA ≤ 320 eV and mA ≤ 4.6 eV in the KSVZ and DFSZ axion models, respectively.

Abstract

A 4π β spectrometer consists of two Si(Li) detectors with a sensitive region that is more than 8-mm thick. Using this total-absorption spectrometer it is possible to make a direct measurement of β spectra without correcting the response function for the electron backscattering from the crystal surface. The β spectra of transitions to the excited states of daughter nuclei have been measured using an additional 3'' BGO detector of γ rays, which is connected in coincidence with the pair of Si(Li) detectors.

Abstract

The precision measurement of $\ensuremath{\beta}$-spectrum shape for $^{210}\mathrm{Bi}$ (historically RaE) has been performed with a spectrometer based on semiconductor Si(Li) detector. This first forbidden nonunique transition has the transition form factor strongly deviated from unity, and knowledge of its spectrum would play an important role in low-background physics in the presence of $^{210}\mathrm{Pb}$ background. The measured transition formfactor could be approximated as $C(W)=1+(\ensuremath{-}0.4470\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0013)W+(0.0552\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0004){W}^{2}$, that is in good agreement with previous studies and has significantly increased parameter precision.

Abstract

We report on an improved measurement of the $^8$B solar neutrino interaction rate with the Borexino experiment at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. Neutrinos are detected via their elastic scattering on electrons in a large volume of liquid scintillator. The measured rate of scattered electrons above 3 MeV of energy is $0.223\substack{+0.015 \\ -0.016}\,(stat)\,\substack{+0.006 \\ -0.006}\,(syst)$ cpd/100 t, which corresponds to an observed solar neutrino flux assuming no neutrino flavor conversion of $\Phi\substack{\rm ES \\ ^8\rm B}=2.57\substack{+0.17 \\ -0.18}(stat)\substack{+0.07\\ -0.07}(syst)\times$10$^6$ cm$^{-2}\,$s$^{-1}$. This measurement exploits the active volume of the detector in almost its entirety for the first time, and takes advantage of a reduced radioactive background following the 2011 scintillator purification campaign and of novel analysis tools providing a more precise modeling of the background. Additionally, we set a new limit on the interaction rate of solar $hep$ neutrinos, searched via their elastic scattering on electrons as well as their neutral current-mediated inelastic scattering on carbon, $^{12}$C($\nu,\nu'$)$^{12}$C* ($E_{\gamma}$= 15.1 MeV).

Abstract

The Borexino liquid scintillator neutrino observatory has a unique capability to perform high-precision solar neutrino observations thanks to its exceptional radiopurity and good energy resolution (5% at 1 MeV). A comprehensive study of the pp-chain neutrinos was presented that includes the direct measurements of 7Be, pp and pep neutrino fluxes with the highest precision ever achieved (down to 2.8% in the 7Be component), the 8B with the lowest energy threshold, the best limit on CNO neutrinos and the first Borexino limit on hep neutrinos. These results are important to validate the MSW-LMA oscillation paradigm across the full solar energy range and to exclude possible Non-Standard neutrino Interactions (NSIs). In particular the effects of neutrino-flavor-diagonal Neutral-Current (NC) interactions that modify the vee and vτe couplings while preserving their chiral and flavor structures, have been investigated. At detection, the shape of the electron-recoil spectrum is affected by changes in the vee and vτe couplings, quantified by the parameters ε e L / R and ε τ L / R . New bounds to all four parameters were obtained, quite stringent compared to the global ones. In particular, the best constraint to-date on ε e L was achieved. A comprehensive summary of all the recent results on solar neutrinos from Borexino is reported in the present paper.

Abstract

Borexino is a 280-ton liquid scintillator detector located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), Italy and is one of the two detectors that has measured geoneutrinos so far. The unprecedented radio-purity of the scintillator, the shielding with highly purified water, and the placement of the detector at a 3800 m w.e. depth have resulted in very low background levels and have made Borexino an excellent apparatus for geoneutrino measurements. The analysis techniques of the latest geoneutrino results with Borexino were presented using the data obtained from December 2007 to April 2019, corresponding to an exposure of (1.12 ± 0.05) × 1032 protons × yr. Enhanced analysis techniques, such as an increased fiducial volume, improved veto for cosmogenic backgrounds, extended energy and coincidence time windows, as well as a more efficient α/β particle discrimination have been adopted in this measurement. The updated statistics and these elaborate resulted in a geoneutrino signal of 47.0 − 7.7 + 8.4 ( stat ) − 1.9 + 2.4 ( sys ) TNU with − 17.2 + 18.3 % total precision.

The γ- and X-ray photons and the conversion and Auger electrons arising from the excited-level relaxation are detected with a gas proportional counter of a low-background detector in the underground Baksan Neutrino Observatory. The following experimental constraint is obtained for the product of the axion–photon coupling constant and the axion mass:|gAγ × mA| ≤ 6.3 × 10 -17 In the framework of the hadronic-axion model, this corresponds to a new axion-mass constraint of mA ≤ 12.7 eV at 95% C.L.

Our method is based on registration of coincident events from both detectors. The spectrometer can be used for precision measurements of various beta-spectra, namely for the beta-spectrum shape study of 144Pr, which is considered to be an advantageous anti-neutrino source for sterile neutrino searches.

Abstract

The characteristics of a beta spectrometer that consists of a total-absorption Si(Li) detector and a drift Si detector are presented. Using this spectrometer, it is possible to efficiently separate β radiation of nuclei from concomitant X and γ rays. The method is based on coincidences between signals from the thick and thin detectors. The spectrometer can be used to precisely measure the shape of the β spectra of various radioactive nuclei, in particular, of the 144Pr nucleus, which is the most promising antineutrino source for searching for neutrino oscillations into a sterile state.

Abstract

The response function of the recoil nuclei in detectors designed for detection of neutrinos or dark matter particles can be determined only through usage of a neutron source with a known energy spectrum. A possible solution for a compact neutron calibration source is a combination of a 252Cf neutron source and a semiconductor detector that detects fission fragments, and thus records the neutron emission moment. This work is devoted to the degradation study of the operating parameters for silicon semiconductor detectors irradiated by fission fragments of the nuclide of 252 Cf. Two types of Si detectors were under investigations - silicon-lithium Si(Li) p-i-n detectors and silicon surface barrier detectors. As a result of the measurements, the maximum permissible radiation doses for the correct operation of both types of detectors and the relation of the received radiation dose to the spectroscopic characteristics of the detectors were determined.

Abstract

Deterioration of the operation parameters of p-type Si surface-barrier detector and Si(Li) p-i-n detector upon irradiation by alpha-particles was investigated. The detectors were irradiated at room temperature up to a total number of the registered α-particles Nα equal to 6 × 109. Prolonged irradiation has resulted in a deterioration of the detectors energy resolution ability and it was found that the increase of α-peaks broadening can be described by a linear function of Nα with a slope Δσ/ΔNα ∼ (1.4–1.8) × 10–9 keV/α for both detectors. Resolution deterioration was associated with the increase of the detectors leakage current, which proceeds linearly with the number of absorbed α-particles with the slope ΔI/ΔNα ∼ (7-17) × 10-17 A/α. The increase of the detectors reverse current was related with appearance of radiation-induced defect level at 0.56 eV above the valence band.

Abstract

The shape of 210Bi β-spectrum was measured using a spectrometer based on Si(Li) detectors with a 4π geometry. Full absorption spectrometer allows for a direct measurement of the β-spectra without using the electron backscattering corrections for the response function. The measured value of nuclear shape factor C(W)=1+(-0.4378±0.0072)W+ (0.0526±0.0021) W2 is in agreement with the results of previous studies.

Abstract

A newly developed experimental technique based on 169Tm-containing cryogenic bolometer detector was employed in order to perform the search for solar axions. The inclusion of target material into the active detector volume allowed for significant increase in sensitivity to axion parameters. A short 6.6 days measurement campaign with 8.18 g detector crystal yielded the following limits on axion couplings: | g A γ ( g A N 0 + g A N 3 ) ≤ 1.44 × 10 − 14 GeV − 1 and | g A e ( g A N 0 + g A N 3 ) ≤ 2.81 × 10 − 16 . The achieved results demonstrate high scalability potential of presented experimental approach.

Abstract

Axions with the energy of $$9.4$$ keV emitted in the М1 transition in 83Kr nuclei in the Sun have been searched for using the resonant absorption reaction $$A + \,{{\,}^{{83}}}{\kern 1pt} {\text{Kr}} \to \,{{\,}^{{83}}}{\text{K}}{{{\text{r}}}^{ \star }} \to \,{{\,}^{{83}}}{\kern 1pt} {\text{Kr}} + \gamma ,e$$ (9.4 keV). A krypton-filled proportional counter located in a low-background setup is used to detect $$\gamma $$ rays and electrons. A new limit on the axion–nucleon coupling constant $$\left| {g_{{AN}}^{3} - g_{{AN}}^{0}} \right| \leqslant 8.4 \times {{10}^{{ - 7}}}$$ is obtained. In the hadronic axion model, it leads to a new limit on the axion mass $${{m}_{A}} \leqslant 65$$ eV (95% CL). A possibility of searching for solar axions with 57Fe-containing semiconductor crystals is described.

Abstract

We report on searches for neutrinos and antineutrinos from astrophysical sources performed with the Borexino detector at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. Electron antineutrinos ($\bar{\nu}_e$) are detected in an organic liquid scintillator through the inverse $\beta$-decay reaction. In the present work we set model-independent upper limits in the energy range 1.8-16.8 MeV on neutrino fluxes from unknown sources that improve our previous results, on average, by a factor 2.5. Using the same data set, we first obtain experimental constraints on the diffuse supernova $\bar{\nu}_e$ fluxes in the previously unexplored region below 8 MeV. A search for $\bar{\nu}_e$ in the solar neutrino flux is also presented: the presence of $\bar{\nu}_e$ would be a manifestation of a non-zero anomalous magnetic moment of the neutrino, making possible its conversion to antineutrinos in the strong magnetic field of the Sun. We obtain a limit for a solar $\bar{\nu}_e$ flux of 384 cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ (90% C.L.), assuming an undistorted solar $^{8}$B neutrinos energy spectrum, that corresponds to a transition probability $p_{ \nu_e \rightarrow \bar\nu_{e}}$ 1.8 MeV. At lower energies, by investigating the spectral shape of elastic scattering events, we obtain a new limit on solar $^{7}$Be-$\nu_e$ conversion into $\bar{\nu}_e$ of $p_{ \nu_e \rightarrow \bar \nu_{e}}, Comment: 18 pages, 8 figures, 4 tables, 73 references

Abstract

Borexino is running at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboraries, Italy since 2007. Its technical distinctive feature is the unprecedented ultralow background of the inner scintillating core, which is the foundation for the outstanding achievements accumulated by this experiment. In this contribution, after recalling the main features of the detector, the impressive solar data gathered so far by Borexino will be summarized. Special emphasis will be given to the illustration of the recent release of the fluxes as stemming from the simultaneous real time spectroscopy of the neutrinos from the entire $pp$ nuclear fusion chain in the Sun, opening with the remarkable 2.7% accuracy of the ⁷Be flux the era of precision measurements also in the realm of the sub-MeV solar neutrinos. Such results put Borexino in the unique situation of being the only detector able to perform solar neutrino spectroscopy over the entire solar spectrum; the counterpart of this peculiar status, in the flavor conversion interpretation of the solar neutrino data, is the capability of Borexino alone to perform the full validation across the solar energy range of the MSW-LMA paradigm. This contribution will be concluded with an account of the Borexino accomplishments in the geo-neutrino field, marked by the detection of the geo-neutrino signal with a significance as high as $5.9\sigma$.

In particular, refined measurements of all neutrinos produced in the {\it pp} fusion chain have been made. It is the first time that the same detector measures the entire range of solar neutrinos at once. These new data weakly favor a high-metallicity Sun.

Abstract

The $^{169}$Tm nuclide has first nuclear level at 8.41 keV with magnetic type transition to the ground state and, therefore, can be used as a target nucleus for the search of resonant absorption of solar axions. We plan to use a Tm-containing crystal of a garnet family Tm$_3$Al$_5$O$_{12}$ as a bolometric detector in order to search for the excitation of the first nuclear level of $^{169}$Tm via the resonant absorption of solar axions. With this perspective in mind, a sample of the Tm$_3$Al$_5$O$_{12}$ crystal was grown and tested for its bolometric and optical properties. Measurements of chemical and/or radioactive contaminations were performed as well. In this paper we present the test results and estimate the requirements for a future low-background experimental setup., Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, 3 tables

Abstract

The latest and more complete geo-neutrinos Borexino results, are briefly presented and discussed. Borexino is a liquid scintillator detector located at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, whose primary purpose is the real-time spectroscopy of low energy solar neutrinos. It is the only experiment so far to have provided an evidence of geo-neutrinos existence beyond a 5σ significance level. The geo-neutrinos measurement and analysis, along with implications from the geological point of view, are shortly discussed.

Abstract

Resonance excitation of the 83Kr first nuclear level (E = 9.4 keV) by solar axions formed via the Primakoff mechanism and via an M1-transition in the 83Kr nucleus in the Sun is searched. The γ-and x-ray photons and the conversion and Auger electrons arising from the excited-level relaxation are detected with a proportional counter in the underground low-background facility of Baksan Neutrino Observatory. The following experimental constraint is obtained for the product of the axion-photon coupling constant and the axion mass: |g Aγ m A | ≼ 6.16 × 10−17. In the framework of the hadronic-axion model, this corresponds to a new axion-mass constraint of mA ≼ 12.6 eV at 95% coincidence level (C.L.). In case of pure hadronic interaction the upper limit for axion-nucleon coupling is | g AN 3 − g AN 0 | ≼ 8.3 × 10−7 at 95% C.L., which corresponds to upper limit for hadrionic axion mass: mA ≼ 64 eV at 95% C.L. with the generally accepted values S = 0.5 and z = 0.56.

Abstract

Photoelectric properties of MIS tunnel diodes produced on high-resistive p-type silicon wafers with thin aluminium nitride AlN insulator layer and Pd or Al metal gate electrodes were investigated. It was found that synthesized AlN films possess a fixed positive charge, which leads to the creation of near-surface inversion layer in silicon substrate. The ratio of the photocurrent to the dark current K = Iph / Idark (on / off ratio) was found to depend on the gate electrode material, illumination intensity and the applied reverse bias. For studied MIS structures K ratio varied from 10 4 to 10 5 and was two orders of magnitude higher than that for the control MS structure without the insulator layer. High on / off ratio of such MIS structures with AlN tunnelling insulator promotes their application as an effective photodetectors in optoelectronics.

Abstract

In this paper we present a method of scintillation detector energy calibration using the gamma-rays. The technique is based on the Compton scattering of gamma-rays in a scintillation detector and subsequent photoelectric absorption of the scattered photon in the Ge-detector. The novelty of this method is that the source of gamma rays, the germanium and scintillation detectors are immediately arranged adjacent to each other. The method presents an effective solution for the detectors consisting of a low atomic number materials, when the ratio between Compton effect and photoelectric absorption is large and the mean path of gamma-rays is comparable to the size of the detector. The technique can be used for the precision measurements of the scintillator light yield dependence on the electron energy., 4 pages, 5 figures

Abstract

A method for calibrating the energy scale of a scintillation detector using γ rays has been proposed and implemented. The technique is based on Compton scattering in the scintillation detector, followed by photoelectric absorption of a scattered γ-ray photon in a Ge detector. The novelty of the method consists in placing the γ-ray source and the scintillation and Ge detectors tightly to each other. The method is efficient for detectors with a low-Z material for which the ratio of the cross sections for Compton scattering and photoeffect is great in value and the attenuation length of the γ-ray flux is comparable to the detector dimensions. The described technique can be used to precisely investigate the dependence of the light yield in a scintillator on the electron energy.

Abstract

Solar neutrinos have played a central role in the discovery of the neutrino oscillation mechanism. They still are proving to be a unique tool to help investigate the fusion reactions that power stars and further probe basic neutrino properties. The Borexino neutrino observatory has been operationally acquiring data at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy since 2007. Its main goal is the real-time study of low energy neutrinos (solar or originated elsewhere, such as geo-neutrinos). The latest analysis of experimental data, taken during the so-called Borexino Phase-II (2011-present), will be showcased in this talk - yielding new high-precision, simultaneous wide band flux measurements of the four main solar neutrino components belonging to the "pp" fusion chain (pp, pep, 7Be, 8B), as well as upper limits on the remaining two solar neutrino fluxes (CNO and hep).

Abstract

International audience; Borexino measured with unprecedented accuracy the fluxes of solar neutrinos emitted at all the steps of the pp fusion chain. Still missing is the measurement of the flux of neutrinos produced in the CNO cycle. A positive measurement of the CNO neutrino flux is of fundamental importance for understanding the evolution of stars and addressing the unresolved controversy on the solar abundances. The measurement of the CNO neutrino flux in Borexino is challenging because of the low intensity of this component (CNO cycle accounts for about 1% of the energy emitted by Sun), the lack of prominent spectral features and the presence of background sources. The main background component is 210Bi decaying in the liquid scintillator of Borexino that creates events with an energy distribution very close to the one of CNO neutrino interactions. Since 2015 the collaboration undertook significant efforts to achieve an independent measurement of the background affecting a CNO measurement, whose impact on the sensitivity to a CNO signal will be discussed.

Abstract

International audience; About 99 per cent of solar energy is produced through sequences of nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen into helium, starting from the fusion of two protons (the pp chain). The neutrinos emitted by five of these reactions represent a unique probe of the Sun’s internal working and, at the same time, offer an intense natural neutrino beam for fundamental physics. Here we report a complete study of the pp chain. We measure the neutrino–electron elastic-scattering rates for neutrinos produced by four reactions of the chain: the initial proton–proton fusion, the electron-capture decay of beryllium-7, the three-body proton–electron–proton (pep) fusion, here measured with the highest precision so far achieved, and the boron-8 beta decay, measured with the lowest energy threshold. We also set a limit on the neutrino flux produced by the$^{3}$He–proton fusion (hep). These measurements provide a direct determination of the relative intensity of the two primary terminations of the pp chain (pp-I and pp-II) and an indication that the temperature profile in the Sun is more compatible with solar models that assume high surface metallicity. We also determine the survival probability of solar electron neutrinos at different energies, thus probing simultaneously and with high precision the neutrino flavour-conversion paradigm, both in vacuum and in matter-dominated regimes.

Abstract

Axions with an energy of 9.4 keV emitted in the M1 transition of 83Kr nuclei in the Sun have been sought in the resonance absorption reaction A + 83Kr → 83Kr* → 83Kr + γ, e (9.4 keV). A proportional gas chamber filled with krypton and placed in a low-background setup at the underground laboratory of the Baksan neutrino observatory was used to detect γ-ray photons and electrons appearing after the decay of a nuclear level. As a result, a new constraint has been determined on the isoscalar and isovector coupling constants of the axion with nucleons: |gAN3– gAN0| ≤ 1.29 × 10–6. This constraint results in the following new bound on the mass of the axion in the hadronic axion model: mA ≤ 100 eV (95% C.L.).

Abstract

International audience; The third phase of the Borexino experiment that’s referred to as SOX is devoted to test the hypothesis of the existence of one (or more) sterile neutrinos at a short baseline (~5–10m). The experimental measurement will be made with artificial sources namely with a 144Ce–144Pr antineutrino source at the first stage (CeSOX) and possibly with a 51Cr neutrino source at the second one. The fixed 144Ce–144Pr sample will be placed beneath the detector in a special pit and the initial activity will be about 100 – 150 kCi. The start of data taking is scheduled for April 2018. The article gives a short description of the preparation for the first stage and shows the expected sensitivity.

Abstract

International audience; Borexino is a liquid scintillator detector sited underground in the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (Italy). Its physics program, until the end of this year, is focussed on the study of solar neutrinos, in particular from the Beryllium, pp, pep and CNO fusion reactions. Knowing the reaction chains in the sun provides insights towards physics disciplines such as astrophysics (star physics, star formation, etc.), astroparticle and particle physics. Phase II started in 2011 and its aim is to improve the phase I results, in particular the measurements of the neutrino fluxes from the pep and CNO processes. By the end of this year, data taking from the sun will be over and a new project is scheduled to launch: Short distance Oscillation with boreXino (SOX), which uses a Cerium source for neutrinos (100÷150 kCi of activity) and aims to confirm or rule out the presence of sterile neutrinos. This particle is hypothesised to justify the reactor, Gallium and LSND anomalies found and can reject extensions to the standard model. The work presented is a summary of the solar neutrino results achieved so far, which lead not only to a precise study of the processes in the sun, but also to more Standard Model oriented measurements (such as the stability of the charge, i.e. the life time of the electron). Furthermore, the perspectives of the SOX program are discussed showing the experiment sensitivity to a fourth neutrino state covering almost entirely 3σ of the preferred region of the anomalous neutrino experiments, and additional applications of the detector such as the study of geo-neutrinos.

Abstract

We describe the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation package of the Borexino detector and discuss the agreement of its output with data. The Borexino MC 'ab initio' simulates the energy loss of particles in all detector components and generates the resulting scintillation photons and their propagation within the liquid scintillator volume. The simulation accounts for absorption, reemission, and scattering of the optical photons and tracks them until they either are absorbed or reach the photocathode of one of the photomultiplier tubes. Photon detection is followed by a comprehensive simulation of the readout electronics response. The algorithm proceeds with a detailed simulation of the electronics chain. The MC is tuned using data collected with radioactive calibration sources deployed inside and around the scintillator volume. The simulation reproduces the energy response of the detector, its uniformity within the fiducial scintillator volume relevant to neutrino physics, and the time distribution of detected photons to better than 1% between 100 keV and several MeV. The techniques developed to simulate the Borexino detector and their level of refinement are of possible interest to the neutrino community, especially for current and future large-volume liquid scintillator experiments such as Kamland-Zen, SNO+, and Juno.

Abstract

International audience; A search for neutrino and antineutrino events correlated with 2350 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is performed with Borexino data collected between December 2007 and November 2015. No statistically significant excess over background is observed. We look for electron antineutrinos ( ν¯e ) that inverse beta decay on protons with energies from 1.8 MeV to 15 MeV and set the best limit on the neutrino fluence from GRBs below 8 MeV. The signals from neutrinos and antineutrinos from GRBs that scatter on electrons are also searched for, a detection channel made possible by the particularly radio-pure scintillator of Borexino. We obtain currently the best limits on the neutrino fluence of all flavors and species below 7 MeV. Finally, time correlations between GRBs and bursts of events are investigated. Our analysis combines two semi-independent data acquisition systems for the first time: the primary Borexino readout optimized for solar neutrino physics up to a few MeV, and a fast waveform digitizer system tuned for events above 1 MeV.

Abstract

We detected the seasonal modulation of the $^7$Be neutrino interaction rate with the Borexino detector at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. The period, amplitude, and phase of the observed time evolution of the signal are consistent with its solar origin, and the absence of an annual modulation is rejected at 99.99\% C.L. The data are analyzed using three methods: the sinusoidal fit, the Lomb-Scargle and the Empirical Mode Decomposition techniques, which all yield results in excellent agreement., Comment: 11 palese, 13 figures

Abstract

International audience; The Borexino experiment is an ultra-pure liquid scintillator detector, running at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (Italy). Borexino has completed the real time spectroscopy of the solar neutrinos generated in the proton-proton chain in the core of the Sun. This proceedings reviews the Borexino experiment and the first direct measurement of pp solar neutrinos.
