Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter. A Whitepaper
Sebastian Baum, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +66
Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors - nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the dama…
Neutrino Geoscience: Review, survey, future prospects
W. F. McDonough, H. Watanabe
The earth's surface heat flux is 463 TW (terrawatts, 10 watts). Although many assume we know the earth's abundance and distribution of radioactive heat producing elemen…
Accretion disk's magnetic field controlled the composition of the terrestrial planets
William F. McDonough, Takashi Yoshizaki
Chondrites, the building blocks of the terrestrial planets, have mass and atomic proportions of oxygen, iron, magnesium, and silicon totaling 90\% and variable Mg/Si (2…
Earth and Mars -- distinct inner Solar System products
Takashi Yoshizaki, William F. McDonough
Composition of terrestrial planets records planetary accretion, core-mantle and crust-mantle differentiation, and surface processes. Here we compare the compositional models of Ear…
Chemically defining the building blocks of the Earth
Takashi Yoshizaki, Richard D. Ash, Tetsuya Yokoyama +2
Chondrites are undifferentiated sediments of material left over from the earliest solar system and are widely considered as representatives of the unprocessed building blocks of th…
Testing a proposed "second continent" beneath eastern China using geoneutrino measurements
Bedrich Roskovec, Ondrej Sramek, William F. McDonough
Models that envisage successful subduction channel transport of upper crustal materials below 300 km depth, past a critical phase transition in buoyant crustal lithologies, are cap…
Earth's chondritic Th/U: negligible fractionation during accretion, core formation, and crust - mantle differentiation
Scott A. Wipperfurth, Meng Guo, Ondřej Šrámek +1
Radioactive decay of potassium (K), thorium (Th), and uranium (U) power the Earth's engine, with variations in 232Th/238U recording planetary differentiation, atmospheric oxidation…
Geoneutrinos and reactor antineutrinos at SNO+
M Baldoncini, V Strati, S A Wipperfurth +4
In the heart of the Creighton Mine near Sudbury (Canada), the SNO+ detector is foreseen to observe almost in equal proportion electron antineutrinos produced by U and Th in the Ear…
Letter of Intent: Jinping Neutrino Experiment
John F. Beacom, Shaomin Chen, Jianping Cheng +34
Jinping Neutrino Experiment (Jinping) is proposed to significantly improve measurements on solar neutrinos and geoneutrinos in China Jinping Laboratory - a lab with a number of unp…
Potential of Geo-neutrino Measurements at JUNO
Ran Han, Yu-Feng Li, Liang Zhan +3
The flux of geoneutrinos at any point on the Earth is a function of the abundance and distribution of radioactive elements within our planet. This flux has been successfully detect…
Subterranean production of neutrons, Ar and Ne: Rates and uncertainties
Ondřej Šrámek, Lauren Stevens, William F. McDonough +2
Accurate understanding of the subsurface production rate of the radionuclide Ar is necessary for argon dating techniques and noble gas geochemistry of the shallow and the de…
Neutrino Physics with JUNO
Fengpeng An, Guangpeng An, Qi An +224
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), a 20 kton multi-purpose underground liquid scintillator detector, was proposed with the determination of the neutrino mass hie…
Expected geoneutrino signal at JUNO
Virginia Strati, Marica Baldoncini, Ivan Callegari +4
Constraints on the Earth's composition and on its radiogenic energy budget come from the detection of geoneutrinos. The KamLAND and Borexino experiments recently reported the geone…
Advanced Scintillator Detector Concept (ASDC): A Concept Paper on the Physics Potential of Water-Based Liquid Scintillator
J. R. Alonso, N. Barros, M. Bergevin +47
The recent development of Water-based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS), and the concurrent development of high-efficiency and high-precision-timing light sensors, has opened up the possi…
Geo-neutrinos and Earth Models
S. T. Dye, Y. Huang, V. Lekic +2
We present the current status of geo-neutrino measurements and their implications for radiogenic heating in the mantle. Earth models predict different levels of radiogenic heating…
Regional study of the Archean to Proterozoic crust at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO+), Ontario: Predicting the geoneutrino flux
Yu Huang, Virginia Strati, Fabio Mantovani +3
The SNO+ detector, a new kiloton scale liquid scintillator detector capable of recording geoneutrino events, will define the strength of the Earth radiogenic heat. A detailed 3-D m…
A reference Earth model for the heat producing elements and associated geoneutrino flux
Yu Huang, Viacheslav Chubakov, Fabio Mantovani +2
The recent geoneutrino experimental results from KamLAND and Borexino detectors reveal the usefulness of analyzing the Earth geoneutrino flux, as it provides a constraint on the st…
Geophysical and geochemical constraints on geoneutrino fluxes from Earth's mantle
Ondřej Šrámek, William F. McDonough, Edwin S. Kite +3
Knowledge of the amount and distribution of radiogenic heating in the mantle is crucial for understanding the dynamics of the Earth, including its thermal evolution, the style and…
