The Borexino Solar Neutrino Experiment is an international collaboration of scientists and engineers dedicated to studying the sun's energy output in the form of neutrinos. By studying these elusive particles, researchers hope to gain a better understanding of the sun's inner workings and its role in the
A solar neutrino is a neutrino originating from nuclear fusion in the Sun's core, and is the most common type of neutrino passing through any source observed on Earth at any particular moment. Neutrinos are elementary particles with extremely small rest mass and a neutral electric charge. They only interact with matter via weak interaction and gravity, making their detection very difficult. This has led to the now-resolved solar neutrino problem. Much is now known about solar neutrinos, but research in this field is ongoing.
