Abstract
Geoneutrinos are neutrinos generated from the decay of natural radioactive elements in the Earth. From these decays, the ratio between the number of neutrinos and the energy released (radiogenic heat) is well known. In order to understand the different processes of the Earth, Bulk Silicate Earth models are formulated, providing expected abundances of radioactive elements and radiogenic heat. Therefore, by measuring geoneutrinos, the different BSE models can be tested. Additionally, the total amount of heat released from the surface of the Earth is coupled with the different dynamical processes. The total heat budget is composed of the cooling from the Earth’s formation and the radiogenic heat. Thus, geoneutrinos also give insight into dynamical processes. The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20 kton Liquid Scintillator detector that will be able to measure geoneutrinos with high precision thanks to its great volume. It is expected to achieve 10% precision in just 6 years, improving upon current results from Borexino and KamLAND.
