What Does The Sun Consist Of? New Data Deepens Debate
Physicists working on the Borexino experiment in Italy have measured the carbon and nitrogen abundances in the Sun's core for the first time using solar…
Elemental Accounting of the Interior of the Sun
The Sun's core hydrogen fusion events release a large amount of solar neutrinos. They are therefore concrete proof that nuclear processes power the Sun.
Using a monolithic scintillation detector, Borexino collects the first directed measurement of sub-MeV solar neutrinos
Up until October 2022, the large-scale particle physics experiment Borexino collected data.
Borexino uses a monolithic scintillation detector to get the first directional measurement of sub-MeV solar neutrinos
Borexino is a large-scale particle physics experiment that will continue to gather data until October 20, 2021.
