Results and projects of the neutrino experiment Borexino — •Lothar Oberauer for the Borexino collaboration — TUM, Physik-Department, James-Franck-Str 1, 85748 Garching

Recently, the Borexino experiment at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory published the first spectroscopic measurement of low energy neutrinos emerging from the solar fusion reactions of two protons (Nature 512). With this result Borexino has now completed a full set of measurements for all major neutrino branches from the solar pp-fusion chains. I will discuss the results and compare them with predictions from astrophysical calculations, taking into account neutrino oscillation parameters and solar matter effects. Finally, I show the prospects of Borexino for solar CNO-neutrinos, geo-neutrinos and the search for sterile neutrinos in the context of SOX (sterile neutrino oscillation experiment). The TUM contribution to Borexino was funded by the DFG, the excellence cluster "origin and structure of the universe", and the MLL in Garching.
