Potassium influence on Earth's mantle convection and Borexino data

Abstract

High flux of geoantineutrinos ${}^{40}$K and geoneutrinos ${}^{40}$K (${}^{40}$K-geo-($\bar{\nu }+\nu$)) can be obtained from reanalysis of the Borexino Phase III data. Large amounts of ${}^{40}$K should produce a significant heat flow that should affect Earth's internal processes. We present the results of the modeling of mantle convection taking into account the excess heat from ${}^{40}$K.
