JUNO-TAO is a liquid scintillator antineutrino spectrometer being built as a satellite experiment within the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO). The JUNO-TAO detector will be placed about 30 m from one of the twins EPR reactors of the Taishan nuclear power plant (Taishan, Guangdong Province, China). In the 90s of the 20th century, it was experimentally proved that antineutrino...
Borexino is a neutrino experiment whose detector is hosted by LNGS of Italy. The detector uses organic liquid scintillator and thus geo-neutrinos above 1.8 MeV can be detected via inverse-beta-decay. On 2020 Januaray, Borexino published the updated results on geo-neutrinos using 3262.74 days of data between December 2007 and April 2019, and the exposure is twice of its previous results. Around...
The decays of radioactive isotopes, uranium, thorium and potassium, inside the Earth generate a significant amount of radiogenic heat and contribute to the Earth’s heat budget. The abundance of these elements is a key parameter to reveal the planet’s geophysical activities. Geoneutrinos originated from these isotopes are unique probe to the composition, and thus, the amount of the radiogenic...
