Solar Neutrino Detection with the nEXO Experiment
Date:
nEXO aims to employ a 5-tonne liquid xenon time projection chamber enriched to 90% in \(^{136}\)Xe. Thanks to recent observations of long-lived excited 136Cs states, the nEXO detector has the potential to serve as a solar neutrino observatory in addition to its primary goal of neutrino-less double beta decay detection. In this talk, I will discuss the projected capabilities of nEXO to use charged-current (\(\nu_{e}\), \(^{136}\)Xe) interactions to measure the CNO and \(pep\) solar-neutrino fluxes, as well as the energy of the \(^7\)Be solar-neutrinos. I will also contextualize the expected results of these measurements relative to the current measurements made by the Borexino and KamLAND collaborations
