abstract

Borexino is a 280-ton liquid scintillator detector located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. Since the start of its data taking in May 2007, it has provided several measurements of low-energy neutrinos from various sources. At the base of its success, lie unprecedented levels of radio-purity and extensive thermal stabilisation, both resulting from a years-long effort of the collaboration. Solar neutrinos, emitted in the hydrogen-to-helium fusion in the solar core, are important for the understanding of our star, as well as neutrino properties. Borexino is the only experiment that has performed a complete spectroscopy of the \emph{pp} chain solar neutrinos (with the exception of the \emph{hep} neutrinos contributing to the total flux at $10^{-5}$ level), through the detection of \emph{pp}, $^7$Be, \emph{pep}, and $^8$B solar neutrinos and has experimentally confirmed the existence of the CNO fusion cycle in the Sun. Borexino has also detected geoneutrinos, antineutrinos from the decays of long-lived radioactive elements inside the Earth, that can be exploited as a new and unique tool to study our planet. This paper reviews the most recent Borexino results on solar and geoneutrinos, from highlighting the key elements of the analyses up to the discussion and interpretation of the results for neutrino, solar, and geophysics.

  1. Comparative Periodogram Analysis of 22 Years of Super-Kamiokande Solar $^{8}\mathrm{B}$ Neutrino Data: Classical, Phase-Based, and Information Theoretic Methods

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Nine periodogram methods on 22 years of SK 8B data show the ~38.8 d signal is early-era only, reject ~24 d as seasonal, and limit any 11-year modulation to <0.2% of mean flux.

  2. Comparative Periodogram Analysis of 22 Years of Super-Kamiokande Solar $^{8}\mathrm{B}$ Neutrino Data: Classical, Phase-Based, and Information Theoretic Methods

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    A nine-algorithm re-analysis of 22 years of Super-Kamiokande 8B data shows the ~38.8-day early-era periodicity is a transient, low-statistics feature and caps any 11-year flux modulation at 0.2%.

  3. Mass Varying Neutrino Oscillation in Teleparallel Gravity

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Torsion-coupled scalar in teleparallel gravity induces density-dependent neutrino masses that alter MSW resonance and yield constraints on coupling parameters from Super-Kamiokande, Borexino and SNO data.

  4. Prospects of five-dimensional $L_\mu-L_\tau$ gauge interactions in the light of elastic neutrino-electron scatterings: The scope of the DUNE near detector

    hep-ph 2024-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Five-dimensional U(1)_{Lμ-Lτ} model predicts multiple gauge bosons whose contributions to elastic neutrino-electron scattering can be probed at DUNE, covering much of the muon (g-2) consistent parameter space.
