Independent Measurement of the Total ActiveB8Solar Neutrino Flux Using an Array ofHe3Proportional Counters at th

Abstract: The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) used an array of 3 He proportional counters to measure the rate of neutral-current interactions in heavy water and precisely determined the total active (ν x ) 8 B solar neutrino flux. This technique is independent of previous methods employed by SNO The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory [1] detects 8 B solar neutrinos through three reactions: charged-current interactions (CC) on deuterons, in which only electron neutrinos participate; neutrino-electron elastic scattering (ES)… Show more

“…For real-time experiments we include the 44 data points of the electron scattering (ES) Super-Kamiokande phase I (SK-I) energy-zenith spectrum [17] and the data from the three phases of SNO [18][19][20], including the results on the low energy threshold analysis of the combined SNO phase I and phase II [21] (which we label SNO-LETA). We also include the main set of the 192 days of Borexino data [22] (which we label Borexino-LE) as well as their high-energy spectrum from 246 live days [23] (Borexino-HE).…”

“…By exploiting particle identification information obtained from the proportional counters installed during the third phase, this analysis improved background rejection in that phase of the experiment. The combined analysis resulted in a total flux of active neutrino flavors from 8 B decays in the Sun of (5.25 ± 0.16(stat. )…”
