Abstract

The Borexino detector was designed to perform the first real-time measurement of the monoenergetic neutrinos from the electron capture on the 7Be in the core of the Sun. The measurement with a precision of 10% has already been reported. The goal of 5% can be obtained in the future thanks to the intense calibration campaign performed in order to tune the Borexino reconstruction code. The 8B solar neutrino analysis with the lowest threshold achieved so far of 3MeV has also been reported. The unprecedentedly low intrinsic radioactivity achieved in Borexino offers a unique tool for the sensitive anti-neutrino study in the MeV energy range and made possible the first observation at more than 3 σ CL of the geo-neutrino (geo-¯νe) signal.
