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…
New limits on heavy sterile neutrino mixing in -decay obtained with the Borexino detector
Borexino collaboration, G. Bellini, J. Benziger +87
If heavy neutrinos with mass 2 are produced in the Sun via the decay in a side branch of pp-chain, they would…
Final results of Borexino Phase-I on low energy solar neutrino spectroscopy
Borexino Collaboration, G. Bellini, J. Benziger +87
Borexino has been running since May 2007 at the LNGS with the primary goal of detecting solar neutrinos. The detector, a large, unsegmented liquid scintillator calorimeter characte…
Measurement of geo-neutrinos from 1353 days of Borexino
G. Bellini, J. Benziger, D. Bick +90
We present a measurement of the geo--neutrino signal obtained from 1353 days of data with the Borexino detector at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. With a fiducial exp…
Cosmogenic Backgrounds in Borexino at 3800 m water-equivalent depth
G. Bellini, J. Benziger, D. Bick +86
The solar neutrino experiment Borexino, which is located in the Gran Sasso underground laboratories, is in a unique position to study muon-induced backgrounds in an organic liquid…
Lifetime measurements of 214Po and 212Po with the CTF liquid scintillator detector at LNGS
Borexino Collaboration, G. Bellini, J. Benziger +92
We have studied the alpha decays of 214Po into 210Pb and of 212Po into 208Pb tagged by the coincidence with the preceding beta decays from 214Bi and 212Bi, respectively. The employ…
Borexino calibrations: Hardware, Methods, and Results
Borexino collaboration, H. Back, G. Bellini +93
Borexino was the first experiment to detect solar neutrinos in real-time in the sub-MeV region. In order to achieve high precision in the determination of neutrino rates, the detec…
Cosmic-muon flux and annual modulation in Borexino at 3800 m water-equivalent depth
G. Bellini, J. Benziger, D. Bick +87
We have measured the muon flux at the underground Gran Sasso National Laboratory (3800 m w.e.) to be (3.41 \pm 0.01) \times 10-4m-2s-1 using four years of Borexino data. A modulati…
The next-generation liquid-scintillator neutrino observatory LENA
Michael Wurm, John F. Beacom, Leonid B. Bezrukov +74
We propose the liquid-scintillator detector LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) as a next-generation neutrino observatory on the scale of 50 kt. The outstanding successes of the B…
Precision measurement of the 7Be solar neutrino interaction rate in Borexino
The Borexino Collaboration
A direct measurement of the 0.862 MeV 7Be solar neutrino interaction rate performed with the Borexino detector at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso yields 46.0$\pm1.5_{\rm st…
Muon and Cosmogenic Neutron Detection in Borexino
Borexino Collaboration, G. Bellini, J. Benziger +86
Borexino, a liquid scintillator detector at LNGS, is designed for the detection of neutrinos and antineutrinos from the Sun, supernovae, nuclear reactors, and the Earth. The feeble…

The large-volume liquid-scintillator detector LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) has been proposed as a next-generation experiment for low-energy neutrinos. High-precision spectr…
Observation of Geo-Neutrinos
Borexino Collaboration
Geo-neutrinos, electron anti-neutrinos produced in beta decays of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes in the Earth, are a unique direct probe of our planet's interior. We repo…
