HK 32.1: Invited Talk

Thursday, March 13, 2008, 08:30–09:00, 1A

Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy and Results from BOREXINO — •Lothar Oberauer¹ and Borexino Collaboration² — ¹TU München, James-Franck-Str 1, 85748 Garching — ²INFN Italy, Germany, France, Poland, Russia, USA

Neutrinos can be used as probes from astrophysical objects. In this talk first results on the measurement of solar 7-Be neutrinos in the BOREXINO experiment at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory (Italy) will be shown. The result will be discussed in context with neutrino oscillations and prospects for measuring CNO- and pep-neutrinos will be discussed. Finally a short outlook on future possibilities in the field of low energy neutrino astronomy will be given.
