Geoneutrinos: production, propagation, and detection. Experimental and technological features of Borexino and KamLAND.
Geo-neutrinos
New interdisciplinary field between Geology and Physics: the study of the Earth’s geo-neutrino flux. Models, experiments, results.
Eyeing the Earth with neutrinos
Essential Information about Earth’s thermal energy could be obtained by detecting neutrinos that flit through the Earth’s interior. Geoneutrinos opens up an entire new field of interdisciplinary research.
