Abstract We discuss the analytical expression of the oscillation probabilities at low energy long baseline experiments, such as Tokai to HyperKamiokande (T2HK) and Tokai to HyperKamioka and Korea (T2HKK), in the presence of nonstandard interactions (NSIs). We show that these experiments are advantageous in the exploration of the NSI parameters ($\epsilon_D$, $\epsilon_N$), which were suggested to be nonvanishing to account for the discrepancy between the solar neutrino and Kamioka Liquid scintillator Anti-Neutrino Detector data. We also show that, when the NSI parameters are small, parameter degeneracy in the CP phase $\delta$, $\epsilon_D$ and $\epsilon_N$ can be resolved by combining data of the T2HK and T2HKK experiments.

Purification of 278 tons of liquid scintillator and 889 tons of buffer shielding for the Borexino solar neutrino detector is performed with a system of combined distillation, water extraction, gas stripping and filtration. The purification system removed K , U and Th by distillation of the pseudocumene solvent and the PPO fluor. Noble gases, Rn , Kr and Ar were removed by gas stripping. Distillation was also employed to remove optical impurities and reduce the attenuation of scintillation light. The success of the purification system has facilitated the first time real time detection of low energy solar neutrinos.

In the recent years important discoveries in the field of low energy neutrino physics (Eν in the ≈ MeV range) have been achieved. Results of the solar neutrino experiment SNO show clearly flavor transitions from νe to νμ,τ. In addition, the long standing solar neutrino problem is basically solved. With KamLAND, an experiment measuring neutrinos emitted from nuclear reactors at large distances, evidence for neutrino oscillations has been found. The values for the oscillation parameters, amplitude and phase, have been restricted. In this paper the potential of future projects in low energy neutrino physics is discussed. This encompasses future solar and reactor experiments as well as the direct search for neutrino masses. Finally the potential of a large liquid scintillator detector in an underground laboratory for supernova neutrino detection, solar neutrino detection, and the search for proton decay p→K+ν is discussed.
