The first international workshop on KamLAND Geoscience will be held in Tokyo, Japan on January 15-16, 2015.
Anti-neutrinos emitted from radioactive isotopes inside the Earth, geo-neutrino, bring unique and direct information of the Earth’s interior and thermal dynamics. KamLAND (Kamioka Liquid-scintillator Antineutrino Detector) experiment published the first experimental results on geo-neutrino in 2005, and showed that neutrinos can be used to study the Earth. The recent long-term shutdown of Japanese reactors has resulted in a significantly reduced reactor neutrino flux at KamLAND. This running condition yield improved sensitivity for geo-neutrino.
The purpose of this workshop is to further connections between geoscience and neutrino physics in Japan and discuss efforts to enhance the predicted geo-neutrino signals at KamLAND.
