Borexino

(Boron Solar Neutrino Experiment)
(past European underground neutrino observatory)

Borexino (for Boron Solar Neutrino Experiment) was a European neutrino observatory located in Italy that aims at precise measurements of solar neutrinos by flavor to confirm or disprove various theories and previous observational findings. One potential determination of interest was whether the Sun was producing a distribution of neutrino energies suggestive of some CNO cycle at its core: findings were against the notion that the CNO cycle is present in the Sun. Borexino began operation in 2007 and ran until October 2021. The data may still be under analysis.
