GD Orebi Gann, K Zuber, D Bemmerer… - Annual Review of …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
In this article we review the current state of the field of solar neutrinos, including flavor
oscillations, nonstandard effects, solar models, cross section measurements, and the broad …

Experimental evidence of neutrinos produced in the CNO fusion cycle in the Sun

Nature, 2020 - nature.com
For most of their existence, stars are fuelled by the fusion of hydrogen into helium. Fusion
proceeds via two processes that are well understood theoretically: the proton–proton (pp) …

Improved measurement of solar neutrinos from the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle by Borexino and its implications for the standard solar model

We present an improved measurement of the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) solar neutrino
interaction rate at Earth obtained with the complete Borexino Phase-III dataset. The …

The relevance of nuclear reactions for Standard Solar Models construction

FL Villante, A Serenelli - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 - frontiersin.org
The fundamental processes by which nuclear energy is generated in the Sun have been
known for many years. However, continuous progress in areas such as neutrino …

Final results of Borexino on CNO solar neutrinos

D Basilico, G Bellini, J Benziger, R Biondi… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In this paper, we report the first measurement of CNO solar neutrinos by Borexino that uses
the correlated integrated directionality (CID) method, exploiting the subdominant Cherenkov …

First directional measurement of sub-MeV solar neutrinos with Borexino

M Agostini, K Altenmüller, S Appel, V Atroshchenko… - Physical review …, 2022 - APS
We report the measurement of sub-MeV solar neutrinos through the use of their associated
Cherenkov radiation, performed with the Borexino detector at the Laboratori Nazionali del …

Active-to-sterile neutrino dipole portal and the XENON1T excess

IM Shoemaker, YD Tsai, J Wyenberg - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
In this paper, we find that a magnetic transition dipole moment between tau and sterile
neutrinos can account for the XENON1T excess events. Unlike the ordinary neutrino dipole …

MeV-scale performance of water-based and pure liquid scintillator detectors

BJ Land, Z Bagdasarian, J Caravaca, M Smiley, M Yeh… - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
This paper presents studies of the performance of water-based liquid scintillators (WbLS) in
both 1-kt and 50-kt detectors. Performance is evaluated in comparison to both pure water …

Correlated and integrated directionality for sub-MeV solar neutrinos in Borexino

M Agostini, K Altenmüller, S Appel, V Atroshchenko… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Liquid scintillator detectors play a central role in the detection of neutrinos from various
sources. In particular, it is the only technique used so far for the precision spectroscopy of …

Revisiting pseudo-Dirac neutrino scenario after recent solar neutrino data

S Ansarifard, Y Farzan - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
It is still unknown whether the mass terms for neutrinos are of Majorana type or of Dirac type.
An interesting possibility, known as pseudo-Dirac scheme, combines these two with a …
