Description

We report new values of weak-mixing angle ( sin 2 θ W ), neutrino effective magnetic moment ( μ ν e f f ) and the charge radii ( r ν α 2 ) using the lowest energy (to-date) solar neutrino data of pp, 7Be and pep spectra from phase I and phase II runs of Borexino experiment. The best-fit values obtained are sin 2 θ W = 0.235 ± 0.019 at 1σ with a precision comparable to that of the combined reactor and accelerator very short-baseline experiments and μ ν e f f 8.7 × 10 12 μ B at 90% C.L. with a factor of 3 improvement over the previous bounds. This leads to the improvement of constraints on all the related magnetic moment matrix elements for the Majorana-type and Dirac-type neutrinos in mass basis and also stronger bounds on the magnetic moment flavor states. The bounds on the neutrino charge radii obtained are 0.82 × 10 32 cm2 r ν e 2   1.27 × 10 32 cm2 and 9 × 10 32 cm2  r ν μ , ν τ 2 3.1 × 10 31 cm2 at 90% C.L. (paper)
