Borexino is a large liquid-scintillator detector with unprecedented intrinsic radiopurity levels, located at the LNGS laboratory in Italy. Its primary goal is to perform a real-time solar neutrinos spectroscopy. The main procedures for the solar neutrino analysis of Borexino Phase-II data (2011-2016) are briefly described.

Borexino could efficiently distinguish between α and β radiation in its liquid scintillator by the characteristic time profile of its scintillation pulse. This α/β discrimination, first demonstrated on the ton scale in the counting test facility prototype, was used throughout the lifetime of the experiment between 2007 and 2021. With this...

Borexino, placed at LNGS in Italy, was a 280-ton liquid scintillator detector that took data from May 2007 to October 2021. Thanks to its unprecedented radio-purity, the real time spectroscopic measurement of solar neutrinos from both the pp-chain and Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxygen (CNO) fusion cycle of the Sun has been performed. Borexino also...
