The pioneering Homestake Chlorine Solar Neutrino Experiment of Ray Davis detected only at a level of about 1/3 of what was roughly expected from the Standard Solar Model for B8-neutrinos. This established the "Solar Neutrino Problem" (SNP).
The deficit could have been caused either:
- by deviations due to an incomplete or false description of the solar interior by the standard solar model...

In more than 10 years of operation, Borexino has performed a precision measurement of the solar neutrino spectrum, resolving almost of all spectral components originating from the proton-proton fusion chain. The presentation will review the results recently released for the second data taking phase 2012-16 during which the detector excelled by its unprecedentedly low background levels and...

SNO+ is a large liquid scintillator based experiment located in the SNOLAB underground laboratory in Sudbury, Canada. The SNO+ experiment uses the 12 m diameter acrylic vessel as well as the PMT array of the SNO detector, with several upgrades necessary to fill with liquid scintillator.
The main physics goal of SNO+ is the search for the neutrinoless double-beta (0n2b) decay with 130Te....
