Seismo-Neutrinology: Probing Earth's Interior with Cosmic and Solar Neutrinos

The exploration of Earth's internal structure has traditionally relied on seismic wave propagation. However, seismic methods face inherent limitations in probing the deepest, most fluid, or high-temperature regions of the planet. This paper introduces the emerging interdisciplinary field of "Seismo-Neutrinology," which seeks to utilize the unique properties of neutrinos-specifically solar and supernova neutrinos-as a diagnostic tool for geophysical inquiry. By leveraging the high penetrative power and weak interaction of neutrinos, this discipline offers a potential means to resolve long-standing geophysical mysteries, such as the radiogenic heat production within the mantle and the precise density distribution of the Earth's core. We present a theoretical framework for how neutrino flux and oscillation patterns can be integrated with traditional seismic tomography to create a multi-modal imaging approach for the Earth's interior.
