Identification of the cosmogenic C background in large volumes of liquid scintillators with Borexino
M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller, S. Appel +93
Cosmogenic radio-nuclei are an important source of background for low-energy neutrino experiments. In Borexino, cosmogenic C decays outnumber solar and CNO neutrino ev…
The Low Polonium Field of Borexino and its significance for the CNO neutrino detection
S. Kumaran, M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller +93
Borexino is a liquid scintillator detector located at the Laboratori Nazionale del Gran Sasso, Italy with the main goal to measure solar neutrinos. The experiment recently provided…
The Monte Carlo simulation of the Borexino detector
M. Agostini, K. Altenmuller, S. Appel +97
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 los…
Description of CRESST-II data
G. Angloher, P. Bauer, A. Bento +47
In Phase 2 of CRESST-II 18 detector modules were operated for about two years (July 2013 - August 2015). Together with this document we are publishing data from two detector module…
Solar neutrino with Borexino: results and perspectives
O. Smirnov, G. Bellini, J. Benziger +87
Borexino is a unique detector able to perform measurement of solar neutrinos fluxes in the energy region around 1 MeV or below due to its low level of radioactive background. It wa…
Detecting the Upturn of the Solar B Neutrino Spectrum with LENA
Randolph Möllenberg, Franz von Feilitzsch, Dominikus Hellgartner +5
LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) has been proposed as a next generation 50 kt liquid scintillator detector. The large target mass allows a high precision measurement of the sol…
Ortho-positronium observation in the Double Chooz Experiment
Y. Abe, J. C. dos Anjos, J. C. Barriere +143
The Double Chooz experiment measures the neutrino mixing angle by detecting reactor via inverse beta decay. The positron-neutron space and time coincidence allow…
SOX: Short distance neutrino Oscillations with BoreXino
Borexino Collaboration
The very low radioactive background of the Borexino detector, its large size, and the well proved capability to detect both low energy neutrino and anti-neutrino make an ideal case…
Cosmogenic Backgrounds in Borexino at 3800 m water-equivalent depth
