The BOREXINO detector, located in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy, has been designed for real-time spectroscopy of low energy solar neutrinos. Extremely low background rates required to successfully accomplish this goal triggered a very extensive R&D program focused on developments of novel background reduction and assay techniques. This has been achieved and, in many cases, these techniques are still the most sensitive world-wide. Extremely low background of the BOREXINO detector made it possible to probe almost entire spectrum of the solar neutrinos in real-time. Radon, as one of the main background sources, needed special considerations and developments, described briefly in this paper. |
