摘要:

我们提出了一个测量的地理-中微子信号从1353天的数据与Borexino探测器在Gran Sasso在意大利Nazionali del Gran Sasso。在所有选择切割和背景扣除之后,以(3.69 $\pm$ 0.16)$\times$ $10^{31}$质子$\times$年的基准曝光量,我们探测到(14.3 $\pm$ 4.4)地中微子事件,假设固定的钍/铀质量比为3.9。这对应于地中微子信号$S_{geo}$ =(38.8 $\pm$ 12.0)TNU,对于零地中微子测量,概率仅为6 $\times$ $10^{-6}$。将U和Th保留为拟合中的自由参数,相对信号为$S_{\mathrm{Th}}$ =(10.6 $\pm$ 12.7)TNU和$S_\mathrm{U}$ =(26.5 $\pm$ 19.5)TNU。单独的Borexino数据与(15.4 $\pm$ 12.3)TNU的地幔地质中微子信号是相容的,而与KamLAND数据的组合分析允许提取(14.1 $\pm$ 8.1)TNU的地幔信号。我们对反应堆反中微子信号$S_{react}$ = 84.5 $^{+19.3}_{-18.9}$ TNU的测量与存在中微子振荡时的预期一致。

英文摘要:

We present a measurement of the geo--neutrino signal obtained from 1353 days of data with the Borexino detector at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy. With a fiducial exposure of (3.69 $\pm$ 0.16) $\times$ $10^{31}$ proton $\times$ year after all selection cuts and background subtraction, we detected (14.3 $\pm$ 4.4) geo-neutrino events assuming a fixed chondritic mass Th/U ratio of 3.9. This corresponds to a geo-neutrino signal $S_{geo}$ = (38.8 $\pm$ 12.0) TNU with just a 6 $\times$ $10^{-6}$ probability for a null geo-neutrino measurement. With U and Th left as free parameters in the fit, the relative signals are $S_{\mathrm{Th}}$ = (10.6 $\pm$ 12.7) TNU and $S_\mathrm{U}$ = (26.5 $\pm$ 19.5) TNU. Borexino data alone are compatible with a mantle geo--neutrino signal of (15.4 $\pm$ 12.3) TNU, while a combined analysis with the KamLAND data allows to extract a mantle signal of (14.1 $\pm$ 8.1) TNU. Our measurement of a reactor anti--neutrino signal $S_{react}$ = 84.5$^{+19.3}_{-18.9}$ TNU is in agreement with expectations in the presence of neutrino oscillations.
