LudhovaOur planet continues to keep many secrets, even if we
live directly on its surface. Fundamental questions
concerning, for example, the Earth’s formation, chemical
composition, dynamics or heat sources remain unanswered. In
particular, we lack information about the deep Earth, from
where it is impossible to obtain samples directly. It took
more than four decades from the first ideas to exploit
(anti)neutrinos from the decays of long-lived radioactive
elements inside the Earth to trace their abundances and
distributions, until the first actual measurements. Until
now, only the KamLAND and the Borexino experiments succeeded
to prove that the measurement of geoneutrinos, as we call
these neutrinos today, is feasible. Furthermore, these
results have proven, that the measured geoneutrino signals
are well compatible with the expectations coming from the
geological models. Current experimental results, still
limited in statistics of detected geoneutrinos, start to
hint the first geologically significant results. However, to
fully exploit the potential of this new experimental
technique, new generation of large volume detectors,
potentially placed in geologically suitable locations, has
to be built. Today, neutrino geoscience is a newly born
interdisciplinary field having as its main aim determination
of the Earth’s radiogenic heat, a key parameter in
understanding of our planet. The talk will summarize its
potential in terms of geosciences, underline experimental
difficulties, as well as provide an overview of existing
results and perspectives of future prospects.},
