Description

We discuss the recent result of DEAP-3600 showing evidence for charged-current Boron-8 solar neutrino absorption on Argon-40. In a visible energy window corresponding to neutrino energies of 12.0 to 14.5 MeV, we observe 6 candidate events. This measurement is of 4.0 sigma significance, and corresponds to a cross section a factor of (2.4 +1.3 -1.0) times that of Bhattacharya, Goodman, and Garcia (2009).
