Unveiling the engine of the Sun: Measurements of the pp-chain and CNO-cycle solar neutrinos with Borexino (JINA-CEE – IReNA Online Seminar)
How the Sun and the Stars shine
Thanks to its extraordinary radiopurity, Borexino observed the two main fusion reactions in stars and will soon weigh in on a controversy relating to the birth of the Sun that challenges the SSM (G.Bellini & A.Ianni on CERN Courier)

Search for solar pp neutrinos with an upgrade of CTF detector
The possibility of using ultrapure liquid organic scintillator as a low-energy solar neutrino detector is discussed. The detector can be build at the LNGS underground laboratory as an upgrade of the CTF detector using already developed technologies.
