Results from Borexino phase I and future plans of the experiment — •Daniel Bick, Caren Hagner, Markus Kaiser, and Mikko Meyer for the Borexino collaboration — Universität Hamburg, Luruper Chaussee 149, 22761 Hamburg
The Borexino experiment is a 300 t liquid scintillator detector designed for the realtime detection of solar neutrinos in the sub-MeV energy range located at the LNGS underground laboratory in Italy. This talk will give an overview of the results from the first phase of the experimental program including the measurement of 7Be, 8B and pep solar neutrinos as well as geoneutrinos.
An update will be given on phase II of Borexino, which has now begun, covering a rich variety of physics. This includes the challenging goal of measuring the CNO and pp solar neutrino flux.
