Borexino finds evidence of neutrinos produced in the Earth’s mantle
Borexino finds evidence of neutrinos produced in the Earth’s mantle (CERN Courier) In July, the Borexino collaboration reported a geoneutrino signal from the Earth’s mantle with 98% C.L. Geoneutrinos are electron antineutrinos produced by β decays of 238U and 232Th chains, and 40K. These
