Abstract

Aim of BOREXINO is to measure in real time solar neutrinos with an energy threshold of about 250 keV via pure leptonic neutrino electron scattering ν + e → ν + e. Special interest in BOREXINO is the first determination of the low energy ⁷Be solar neutrino flux. In the MSW-scenario a strong depletion of this flux should be found. In case of vacuum oscillations a clear time fluctuation in the measured flux is to be expected. In addition the large mixing angle MSW solution can be probed independently by measuring the ν̄_e flux of european power reactors in a long baseline oscillation experiment.
