Abstract

We report the measurement of the ⁸B solar neutrinos interaction rate with the Borexino detector. The extremly high radio-purity reached in the Borexino scintillator, combined with the efficient software rejection of cosmogenic background, allows to investigate the recoiled electron spectrum, induced by ⁸B solar neutrinos, down to the unprecedented energy threshold of 2.8 MeV. The rate of ⁸B solar neutrino interaction as measured through their scattering on the target electrons is 0.26 ± 0.04_stat ± 0.02_syst c/d/100 tons. This corresponds to an equivalent electron neutrino flux of (2.65 ± 0.44_stat ± 0.18_syst) × 10⁶ cm^{- 2} s^{- 1}, as derived from the elastic scattering only, in good agreement with existing measurements and predictions.
