摘要
Recent Borexino measurement of the 0.862 MeV Be-7 solar neutrino interaction rate yielded 46.0 +/- 1.5(stat-1.5syst)(+1.6) counts/(day . 100 tons). This is the first direct measurement of a sub-MeV solar neutrino rate with an accuracy better than 5%. Using the latest Standard Solar Model (SSM) flux predictions, the result permits to probe with unprecedented sensitivity the transition between the matter-enhanced and vacuum-dominated neutrino oscillation regimes characteristic of the MSW-LMA solution to the solar neutrino problem. Geo-neutrinos are a unique direct probe of Earth's interior. Recently Borexino has reported the first observation at more than 3 sigma C.L. of geo-neutrinos. Borexino measurement of the geo-neutrinos rate is 3.9(-1.3)(+1.6)((+5.8)(-3.2)) events/(yr . 100 tons) with errors corresponding to a 68.3% (99.73%) C.L. Hypothesis of an active geo-reactor in the Earth's core with a power above 3 TW is rejected at 95% C.L.
