Borexino: Real-Time sub-MeV Solar Neutrino Detection and Beyond.
O. Smirnov

Solar neutrinos are a source of information on the nuclear reactions occurring in the core of the Sun. Till very recent the real-time solar neutrino experiments were detecting the very tiny fraction of about 0.01% of the total neutrino flux above some MeV energy, the sub-MeV region remained unexplored. At present Borexino is the only experiment in the world acquiring the real-time solar neutrino data in the low-energy region, but the scope of the experiment goes beyond the solar neutrino measurements.
Key words: solar neutrino, sub-MeV neutrino, liquid scintillator detector, large volume detector
