Since the beginning of 2012, the Borexino collaboration has been reporting precision measurements of the solar neutrino fluxes, emitted in the proton–proton chain and in the Carbon–Nitrogen–Oxygen cycle. The experimental sensitivity achieved in Phase-II and Phase-III of the Borexino data taking made it possible to detect the annual modulation...

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...

In the following, the first measurement of CNO solar neutrinos obtained by Borexino by exploiting the directional information retained by solar neutrino is summarized [1]. The Correlated Integrated Directionality (CID) method makes use of the sub-dominant Cherenkov light emitted by the Borexino liquid scintillator to correlate between the first...

The recent observation of CNO solar neutrinos by Borexino (BX) has proven the high potential offered by large underground ultrapure liquid scintillators to disclose weak neutrino and antineutrino fluxes. Supernovae explosions, gamma-ray bursts, solar flares and Gravitational Waves (GW) are among the possible extra-terrestrial sources of...

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...

Geo-neutrinos, electron anti-neutrinos produced in b-decays of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes in the Earth, are a unique direct probe of our planet's interior. After a brief introduction of the geo-neutrinos' properties and of the main aims of their study, we discuss the features of a detector which has recently provided breakthrough...

We review the solar neutrinos results of Borexino and the limit on the charge conservation obtained in the context of the analysis of the low energy region of the energy spectrum.

The Borexino experiment located in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, is an organic liquid scintillator detector conceived for the real time spectroscopy of low energy solar neutrinos. The phase-I of the data taking campaign (2007 - 2010) has allowed the first independent measurements of 7 Be and pep solar neutrino fluxes as well as the first...

Measurement of the Solar pp-neutrino flux completed the measurement of Solar neutrino fluxes from the pp-chain of reactions in Borexino experiment. The result is in agreement with the prediction of the Standard Solar Model and the MSW/LMA oscillation scenario. A comparison of the total neutrino flux from the Sun with Solar luminosity in photons...

Neutrino produced in a chain of nuclear reactions in the Sun starting from the fusion of two protons, for the first time has been detected in a real-time detector in spectrometric mode. The unique properties of the Borexino detector provided an oppurtunity to disentangle pp-neutrino spectrum from the background components. A comparison of the...

We review the geoneutrino measurement with Borexino from 2056 days of data taking.

Neutrinos are impervious to the strong and electromagnetic forces and their minuscule weak interactions allow them to freely escape from the deep of the stars or of the Earth bringing precious information about regions otherwise inaccessible. Borexino is a large, unsegmented liquid-scintillator calorimeter in operation at the Laboratori...
