Borexino Calibrations: Hardware, Methods, and Results

Journal of Instrumentation (2012)

H. Back, G. Bellini, J. Benziger, D. Bick, et al.

Borexino was the first experiment to detect solar neutrinos in real-time in the sub-MeV region. In order to achieve high ...

Cosmic-Muon Flux and Annual Modulation in Borexino at 3800 m ...

Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (2012)

G. Bellini, J. Benziger, D. Bick, G. Bonfini, et al.

We have measured the muon flux at the underground Gran Sasso National Laboratory (3800 m w.e.) to be (3.41±0.01)⋅10−4m−2s−1 using ...

Muon and Cosmogenic Neutron Detection in Borexino

Journal of Instrumentation (2011)

G. Bellini, J. Benziger, D. Bick, S. Bonetti, et al.

Borexino, a liquid scintillator detector at LNGS, is designed for the detection of neutrinos and antineutrinos from the Sun, supernovae, ...

Study of Solar and Other Unknown Anti-Neutrino Fluxes with Borexino ...

Physics Letters B (2011)

G. Bellini, J. Benzinger, S. Bonetti, M. Buizza Avanzini, et al.

Observation of Geo-Neutrinos

Physics Letters B (2010)

G. Bellini, J. Benziger, S. Bonetti, M. Buizza Avanzini, et al.

Geo-neutrinos, electron anti-neutrinos produced in β decays of naturally occurring radioactive isotopes in the Earth, are a unique direct probe ...

New Experimental Limits on the Pauli-Forbidden Transitions in 12C Nuclei ...

Physical Review C (2010)

G. Bellini, J. Benziger, S. Bonetti, M. Buizza Avanzini, et al.

The Pauli exclusion principle (PEP) has been tested for nucleons (n,p) in 12C with the Borexino detector. The approach consists ...

A simple radionuclide-driven single-ion source

Review of Scientific Instruments (2010)

M Montero Diez, T Daniels, K Kumar, A Pocar, et al.

We describe a source capable of producing single barium ions through nuclear recoils in radioactive decay. The source is fabricated ...

A Scintillator Purification System for the Borexino Solar Neutrino Detector

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research (2008)

Purification of the 278 tons of liquid scintillator and 889 tons of buffer shielding for the Borexino solar neutrino detector ...

A Liquid Xenon Ionization Chamber in an All-Fluoropolymer Vessel

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research (2007)

F. LePort, Andrea Pocar, L. Bartoszek, R. DeVoe, et al.

A novel technique has been developed to build vessels for liquid xenon ionization detectors entirely out of an ultra-clean fluoropolymer. ...

Low Background Techniques for the Borexino Nylon Vessels

AIP Conference Proceedings (2004)

Borexino is an organic liquid scintillator underground detector for low energy solar neutrinos. The experiment has to satisfy extremely stringent ...
