abstract = {This paper presents a comprehensive geoneutrino measurement
using the Borexino detector, located atLaboratori Nazionali
del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. The analysis is the result
of 3262.74 days of data betweenDecember 2007 and April 2019.
The paper describes improved analysis techniques and
optimized dataselection, which includes enlarged fiducial
volume and sophisticated cosmogenic veto. The reported
exposureof ð1.29 ` 0.05Þ × 1032 protons × year
represents an increase by a factor of two over a previous
Borexinoanalysis reported in 2015. By observing
52.6þ9.4ðstatÞþ2.7ðsysÞ geoneutrinos $(68\%$ interval)
from 238U and −8.6 −2.1232Th, a geoneutrino signal of
47.0þ8.4ðstatÞþ2.4ðsysÞ TNU with $þ18.3\%$ total
precision was obtained. This −7.7 −1.9 −17.2result
assumes the same Th/U mass ratio as found in chondritic CI
meteorites but compatible results were foundwhen
contributions from 238U and 232Th were both fit as free
parameters. Antineutrino background fromreactors is fit
unconstrained and found compatible with the expectations.
The null-hypothesis of observing ageoneutrino signal from
the mantle is excluded at a $99.0\%$ C.L. when exploiting
detailed knowledge of the localcrust near the experimental
site. Measured mantle signal of
21.2þ9.5ðstatÞþ1.1ðsysÞ TNU corresponds to the −9.0

$−10.418\%contributionof40Kinthemantleand8.1þ1.9$
TWoftotalradiogenicheatofthelithosphere,theBorexino
−1.4estimate of the total radiogenic heat of the Earth is
38.2þ13.6 TW, which corresponds to the convective Urey
−12.7ratio of 0.78þ0.41. These values are compatible with
different geological predictions, however there is a
∼2.4σ −0.28tension with those Earth models which
predict the lowest concentration of heat-producing elements
in the mantle. In addition, by constraining the number of
expected reactor antineutrino events, the existence of a
hypothetical georeactor at the center of the Earth having
power greater than 2.4 TW is excluded at $95\%$ C.L.
Particular attention is given to the description of all
analysis details which should be of interest for the next
generation of geoneutrino measurements using liquid
scintillator detectors.},
