Description

We show that liquid organic scintillator detectors (e. g., KamLAND and Borexino) can measure the 8B solar neutrino flux by means of the νe charged current interaction with the 13C nuclei naturally contained in the scintillators. The neutrino events can be identified by exploiting the time and space coincidence with the subsequent decay of the produced 13N nuclei
