Measurement of Solar pp Neutrino Flux using Electron Recoil Data from PandaX-4T Commissioning Run
read the original abstract
The proton-proton ($pp$) fusion chain dominates the neutrino production from the Sun. The uncertainty of the predicted $pp$ neutrino flux is at the sub-percent level, whereas that of the best measurement is $\mathcal{O}(10\%)$. In this paper, we present the first result to measure the solar $pp$ neutrinos in the electron recoil energy range from 24 to 144 keV, using the PandaX-4T commissioning data with 0.63 tonne$\times$year exposure. The $pp$ neutrino flux is determined to be $(8.0 \pm 3.9 \,{\rm{(stat)}} \pm 10.0 \,{\rm{(syst)}} )\times 10^{10}\, $$\rm{s}^{-1} \rm{cm}^{-2}$, consistent with Standard Solar Model and existing measurements, corresponding to a flux upper limit of $23.3\times 10^{10}\, $$\rm{s}^{-1} \rm{cm}^{-2}$ at 90\% C.L..

Measurement of solar $pp$ neutrino flux with the new PandaX-4T data
PandaX-4T Run 2 data yields solar pp neutrino flux of (8.5 ± 3.5)×10^{10} cm^{-2}s^{-1} at 2.2σ, first positive indication below 165 keV electronic recoil.
