The plot shows thedistribution of differences of the Hesse parameter α from a separate reconstruction oftwo parallel modules. A clear peak around 0 can be seen. The width of the distributiongives a measure of the angular resolution and has been determined by a fit to a Voigtian.50
Chapter 4The Borexino ExperimentThe Borexino Experiment was designed for the real time spectroscopic detection ofsolar neutrinos. Its main goal is the measurement of 7 Be neutrino flux, but also8 B, pep and CNO solar neutrinos belong to the scientific program. Apart fromsolar neutrinos, also geo-neutrinos have been observed recently. The detector islocated underneath approximately 1400 m of rock overburden (≈ 3800 m.w.e. 1 ) inthe LNGS underground laboratory in Italy. The detection of neutrinos is done usingliquid scintillator and the experiment is surrounded by ultra pure water acting as aČerenkov muon veto. Detecting low energetic neutrinos at low rates requires a highradio purity of all materials involved—especially the scintillator—which has beenachieved for Borexino. This chapter gives an overview of the detection methods ofneutrinos in liquid scintillators, especially in Borexino. A description of the detectordesign is then given. It is followed by a discussion of background sources. Specialcare is given to the cosmogenic background in the scintillator and how it can beaccounted for. In the last section of this chapter the results so far obtained byBorexino are presented.4.1 Neutrino Detection in BorexinoBorexino uses liquid scintillator for the detection of low energetic neutrinos. Thescintillator acts as both target and detection material. Neutrinos react with thescintillator through different processes. Neutrinos—electron type neutrinos ν e inparticular—can be detected through elastic scattering whereas anti-electron-neutrinoscan be detected via the inverse β decay. During both processes, energy is depositedin the scintillator which can be detected by the scintillation light. Both processesare described in detail below.4.1.1 Elastic Scattering in Liquid ScintillatorThe elastic scattering of neutrinos on electrons in the scintillator is the dominantprocess for the detection of solar neutrinos.
