Can Solar Neutrinos be a Serious Background in Direct Dark Matter Searches?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v2 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

The coherent contribution of all neutrons in neutrino nucleus scattering due to the neutral current is examined considering the boron solar neutrinos. These neutrinos could potentially become a source of background in the future dark matter searches aiming at nucleon cross sections in the region well below the few events per ton per year.
