Be7solar neutrino measurement with KamLAND

Abstract: We report a measurement of the neutrino-electron elastic scattering rate of 862 keV 7 Be solar neutrinos based on a 165.4 kton-days exposure of KamLAND. The observed rate is 582 ± 94 (kton-days) −1 , which corresponds to a 862 keV 7 Be solar neutrino flux of (3.26 ± 0.52) × 10 9 cm −2 s −1 , assuming a pure electron-flavor flux. Comparing this flux with the standard solar model prediction and further assuming three-flavor mixing, a νe survival probability of 0.66 ± 0.15 is determined from the KamLAND data. Uti… Show more

“…Furthermore, these neutrinos could provide an early supernova warning trigger, dramatically improving upon the current Supernova Early Warning System (SNEWS) [15] network. Sensitivity studies for pre-SN neutrinos have been conducted [11][12][13][14] for current and future neutrino experiments, primarily focusing on liquid scintillatorbased (Borexino [16], KamLAND [17,18], SNO+ [19], JUNO [20,21]) and water Cherenkov-based (SNO [22], Super-Kamiokande [23,24] and Hyper-Kamiokande [25], including gadolinium dissolution [26]) detectors. A dedicated study by the KamLAND collaboration has been also recently carried out [27].…”

“…Nevertheless, contamination with 85 Kr at the level of 883±20 µBq/kg and with daughter isotopes of 222 Rn was observed. The decay rate of 210 Pb was 58.4±1.1 µBq/kg, as inferred from the decay rates of its unstable daughters 210 Bi and 210 Po [173]. Though the resulting single event counting rate of 8.1×10 7 (kt·d) −1 was acceptable for the antineutrino programme, the solar neutrino one would be impossible without further purification.…”

“…An important point for the geoneutrino study in the KamLAND-Zen experiment was in 2012, when, following the Fukusima event, the Japanese nuclear power plants were switched off for checks and maintenance. The idea to use the information on the thermal power of nuclear plants in view of the geoneutrino signal extraction was discussed before these dramatic events [171]. After May 2012, when the last reactor was switched off, the reactor-to-geoneutrino signal ratio is practically the same as in the Borexino experiment.…”

“…While they will ultimately be competitive in the ∆m 2 41 ∼ O(1 − 10) eV 2 region, they have not yet produced world-leading limits. Constraints on sterile neutrinos mixing with ν e /ν e from radioactive source [57][58][59], solar [60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71] and carbonscattering [72,73] experiments can be nontrivial, but we do not consider these.…”
