We show that liquid organic scintillator detectors (e. g., KamLAND and Borexino) can measure the B-8 solar neutrino flux by means of the v(e) charged current interaction with the C-13 nuclei naturally contained in the scintillators. The neutrino events can be identified by exploiting the time and space coincidence with the subsequent decay of the produced N-13 nuclei.

Abstract

We show that liquid organic scintillator detectors (e. g., KamLAND and Borexino) can measure the B-8 solar neutrino flux by means of the v(e) charged current interaction with the C-13 nuclei naturally contained in the scintillators. The neutrino events can be identified by exploiting the time and space coincidence with the subsequent decay of the produced N-13 nuclei.
