Description
The XENONnT experiment, a 5.9-tonne liquid xenon time projection chamber primarily designed for dark matter searches, recently achieved a significant milestone in neutrino physics with the first direct indication of nuclear recoils from solar $^8$B neutrinos via coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$\nu$NS). This groundbreaking detection demonstrates XENONnT's unprecedented low-energy detection capabilities and ultra-low background environment, which motivates further solar neutrino searches. This presentation will provide updates on the ongoing search for solar $pp$ neutrinos interacting through neutrino-electron elastic scattering, utilizing data from the first two science runs.
