Abstract

Light concentrators for the solar neutrino experiment Borexino and the Counting Test Facility have been developed and constructed. This paper describes the technical goals, challenges and the concepts to overcome the difficulties. In addition results of measurements according to the long-time stability in different media are reported. Results of gamma spectroscopy measurements of the concentrators are presented and the impact on the background in Borexino and CTF is discussed.
