We report the measurement of {nu}-e elastic scattering from {sup 8}B solar neutrinos with 3 MeV energy threshold by the Borexino detector in Gran Sasso (Italy). The rate of solar neutrino-induced electron scattering events above this energy in Borexino is 0.22{+-}0.04(stat){+-}0.01(syst) cpd/100 t, which corresponds to {Phi}{sub {sup 8}B}{sup ES}=2.4{+-}0.4{+-}0.1x10{sup 6} cm{sup -2} s{sup -1}, in good agreement with measurements from SNO and SuperKamiokaNDE. Assuming the {sup 8}B neutrino…
