Abstract

KamLAND has the sensitivity to detect the anti-neutrinos produced by natural radioactivity, 238U and ²3²Th in the Earth. Earth models suggest that approximately half of the total heat generation in the Earth is the radiogenic power from these decay reactions. KamLAND result from a search for these geo-neutrinos is 4.5 to 54.2 events at the 90 3 confidence intervals assuming a fixed U/Th mass ratio of 3.9. This is consistent with the geophysical prediction of 19 events.
