Geo-neutrinos and Earth's interior
by G. Fiorentini, M. Lissia, F. Mantovani - arXiv.org
Geo-neutrinos bring to the surface information from the whole planet, concerning its content of natural radioactive elements. Their detection shed light on the sources of the terrestrial heat flow, on the composition, and on the origins of the Earth.
