Neutrinos and (Anti)neutrinos from Supernovae and from the Earth in the Borexino detector

Abstract

The main goal of the Borexino detector, in its final phase of construction in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory, is the direct observation and measurement of the low energy component of neutrinos coming from the Sun. The unique low energy sensitivity and ultra-low background bring new capabilities to attack problems in neutrino physiscs other than solar ones. Investigation about the study of Supernoavae neutrinos and neutrino coming from the Earth (Geoneutrinos) are here resumed.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, proceedings of the The 1st Yamada Symposium on Neutrinos and Dark Matter in Nuclear Physics June 9-14, 2003, Nara Japa
