16. We do not consider additional systematic effects that might be correlated in time, e.g., possible cyclic variations of the detector efficiency. The evaluation of these experimental uncertainties is premature and goes beyond the scope of this work.

23. This situation is similar to the measurement of the near-far asymmetry (Formula presented) as defined in B. Faı ¨d, G. L. Fogli, E. Lisi, and D. Montanino, Phys. Rev. D 55, 1353 (1997). Indeed, it can be shown that (Formula presented) for SuperKamiokande and SNO. This approximate correspondence between (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) does not hold for Borexino, due to non-negligible higher harmonics.
