Researchers in the XENON Collaboration announced the first observation of low-energy solar neutrinos scattering off electrons in the XENONnT detector during a seminar hosted by the INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso on August 31. ^[1] The LUX-Zeplin (LZ) experiment, located 1.5 kilometers underground in the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, registered a single anomalous event during 220 days of data collection between March 2023 and April 2024. ^[2] The detected signal is dominated by pp neutrinos, which are produced in the proton-proton fusion reactions that power the sun and account for the vast majority of its neutrino emission. ^[3] The measurement extends the frontier of direct neutrino observations down to neutrino energies of about 17 keV, the lowest neutrino energy threshold ever achieved. ^[4] Rick Gaitskell, spokesperson for the LUX-Zeplin collaboration, stated that the team does not claim to have seen dark matter but found something interesting to share with the scientific community. ^[5] The event has a local statistical significance of 3.4 sigma, but after testing 616 model variants, the significance drops to 2.6 sigma, which is below the standard threshold for a discovery. ^[6] The recorded event occurred on June 16, 2023, at 21:22 UTC, with a reconstructed recoil energy of 248 keV and an uncertainty of 23 keV. ^[7] Florian Jörg, a postdoc in Baudis' group, stated that the same detector properties that make these technologies powerful in the search for dark matter allow them to study solar neutrino physics in a new energy range. ^[8]
