Abstract

We report new values of weak-mixing angle (sin2θW\sin ^{2}\theta _{W}),, neutrino effective magnetic moment and the charge radius using the lowest-energy (to-date) solar neutrino data of pp, 7^{7}Be and pep spectra from phase-I and phase-II runs of Borexino experiment. The best-fit values are sin2θW=\sin ^{2}\theta _{W}=0.235±\pm 0.019 with a precision comparable to that of the combined reactor and accelerator very short-baseline experiments and μνeff8.7×1012μB\mu _{\nu }^{eff}\leq 8.7\times 10^{-12}\mu _{B} at 90% C.L. with a factor of 3 improvement than the previous bounds. This leads to the improvement of all the related magnetic moment matrix elements for the Majorana-type and Dirac-type in mass basis and also improvement on bounds on the flavor magnetic moment states. The bounds on the neutrino charged radii turn out to be 0.82×1032-0.82\times 10^{-32}cm2rνe2 1.27×1032^{2}\leq \left \langle r_{\nu _{e}}^{2}\right \rangle \ \leq 1.27\times 10^{-32} cm2 ^{2}\ and 9×1032-9\times 10^{-32}cm2rνμ,ντ2 3.1×1031^{2}\leq \left \langle r_{\nu _{\mu },\nu _{\tau }}^{2}\right \rangle \ \leq 3.1\times 10^{-31} cm2 ^{2}\ at 90% C.L..
