Contributions to a conference proceedings

The study of DD reactions, especially with polarized reactants, helps for better understanding of the processes taking place in nuclear astrophysics and fusion reactors. At PNPI Gatchina, Russia, the PolFusion experiment with crossing of two polarized beams, i.e. [...]

A spectral fitter based on the graphics processor unit (GPU) has been developed for Borexino solar neutrino analysis. It is able to shorten the fitting time to a superior level compared to the CPU fitting procedure. [...]

The Borexino collaboration has recently released the first simultaneous measurement of the interaction rates of pp, 7Be and pep solar neutrinos. This result was made possible by the unprecedented low background of the scintillator during Phase-II, together with new data analysis techniques. [...]

Borexino experiment is located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy, and its primary goal is detecting solar neutrinos, in particular those below 2 MeV, with unprecedentedly high sensitivity. Its technical distinctive feature is the ultra-low radioactive background of the inner scintillating core, which is the basis of the outstanding achievements obtained by the experiment (fluxes of 7Be, pep, pp, and limit on CNO). [...]

Borexino has provided an updated upper limit on the effective neutrino magnetic moment of solar neutrinos μβα < 2.8 x 10−11 μऔ at 90% C.L. This result represents nearly a factor of two improvement with respect to the previous result based on 192 days of the Phase-I data. [...]

Borexino is a 300 ton sub-MeV liquid scintillator solar neutrino detector which has been running at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (Italy) since 2007. Thanks to its unprecedented radio-purity, it was able to measure the flux of 7Be, 8B, pp, and pep solar neutrinos and to detect geo-neutrinos. [...]

Neutrino physics has made a substantial progress in recent years: ranging from the discovery of new phenomena, as neutrino oscillations, up to the development of milestone experimental techniques, going, at the end, hand-in-hand. Today, we are able to do precision neutrino physics, as well as we have succeeded in using neutrinos as new tools to gain information about astrophysical objects. [...]

The Solar-Era.net project PEARL TF-PV, [1], aims to reduce the uncertainties in the operation of thin-film solar power plants. To this end, one of the main parts of the project is the gathering of performance data and electroluminescence (EL) images of different types of thin-film solar cells and modules (see abstract of Mirjam Theelen et al, this conference).
