What is recorded here?
Borexino analyzed 3262.74 days of data and obtained a fitted geoneutrino signal of 47.0 terrestrial neutrino units, with approximately 18% total uncertainty under its assumed thorium-to-uranium ratio. Incorporating a model for the local and broader lithosphere, the authors reported a nonzero mantle contribution at 99% confidence.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The analysis statistically separates spectral components and relies on detector efficiency, background models, neutrino oscillation parameters and local crust composition; it does not assign individual events to the mantle. The mantle significance is conditional on the lithospheric model. The total radiogenic-heat estimate additionally assumes a potassium contribution and mantle elemental distribution; it is not a direct calorimetric measurement.
