| Abstract: | Because the propagation of neutrinos is affected by the presence of Earth matter, it opens new possibilities to probe the
Earth’s interior. Different approaches range from techniques based upon the interaction of high energy (above TeV) neutrinos
with Earth matter, to methods using the MSW effect on the oscillations of low energy (MeV to GeV) neutrinos. In principle,
neutrinos from many different sources (sun, atmosphere, supernovae, beams etc.) can be used. In this talk, we summarize and
compare different approaches with an emphasis on more recent developments. In addition, we point out other geophysical aspects
relevant for neutrino oscillations. |
