Measurement of the B8 solar neutrino flux in SNO+ with very low backgrounds

Abstract: A measurement of the 8 B solar neutrino flux has been made using a 69.2 kt-day dataset acquired with the SNOþ detector during its water commissioning phase. At energies above 6 MeV the dataset is an extremely pure sample of solar neutrino elastic scattering events, owing primarily to the detector's deep location, allowing an accurate measurement with relatively little exposure. In that energy region the best fit background rate is 0.25 þ0.09 −0.07 events=kt-day, significantly lower than the measured solar neut… Show more

“…In this period, the AV was filled with UPW and the particle interactions inside it were detected viaČerenkov radiation. In the first paper [2], an observation of elastic scattering of 8 B neutrinos from the Sun was made. In these events the recoil electron direction is highly correlated with the Sun's position.…”

“…Most recently, Borexino reported the first direct observation of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen (CNO) neutrinos at 5σ [20]. Five experiments, Borexino [21,22], Super-K [23], KamLAND [24], SNO [25], and SNO+ [26], have measured the higher-energy 8 B flux. COHERENT made the first observation of CEvNS [27], but astrophysical neutrinos have yet to be detected in this way.…”
