Abstract:
This Letter reports a direct measurement of the 7Be
solar neutrino signal rate performed with the Borexino
low background liquid scintillator detector at the
Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. This is the first
real-time spectral measurement of sub-MeV solar
neutrinos. The result for 0.862 MeV 7Be neutrinos is
47±7stat±12sys counts/(day 100 ton), consistent with
predictions of Standard Solar Models and neutrino
oscillations with LMA-MSW parameters.
