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 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…

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…
