The PandaX-4T liquid xenon detector at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory is used to measure the solar 8 B neutrino flux by detecting neutrinos through coherent scattering with xenon nuclei. Data samples requiring the coincidence of scintillation and ionization signals (paired), as well as unpaired ionization-only signals (US2), are selected with energy threshold of approximately 1.1 keV (0.33 keV) nuclear recoil energy. Combining the commissioning run and the first science run of PandaX-4T, a total exposure of 1.20 and 1 . 0 4 t o n n e · y e a r are collected for the paired and US2, respectively. After unblinding, 3 and 332 events are observed with an expectation of 2 . 8 ± 0 . 5 and 2 5 1 ± 3 2 background events, for the paired and US2 data, respectively. A combined analysis yields a best-fit 8 B neutrino signal of 3.5 (75) events from the paired (US2) data sample, with ∼ 3 7 % uncertainty, and the background-only hypothesis is disfavored at 2 . 6 4 𝜎 significance. This gives a solar 8 B neutrino flux of ( 8 . 4 ± 3 . 1 ) × 1 0 6 c m − 2 s − 1 , consistent with the standard solar model prediction. It is also the first indication of solar 8 B neutrino “fog” in a dark matter direct detection experiment.
