TL;DR
This paper proposes an underground antineutrino detector to map radiogenic heat sources, including a hypothetical nuclear georeactor, enhancing our understanding of Earth's internal heat distribution.
Contribution
It introduces a novel underground antineutrino detection method aimed at identifying and mapping Earth's internal radiogenic heat sources, including a potential nuclear georeactor.
Findings
Potential to distinguish radiogenic heat sources within Earth
Enhanced mapping of Earth's internal heat distribution
Feasibility of detecting a hypothetical nuclear georeactor
Abstract
The paper focuses on a proposal for an underground antineutrino antenna to further develop the dectection of these particles as a tool to map the distribution of radiogenic heat sources, such as the natural radionuclides and a hypothetical nuclear georeactor.
