RE: When particle physics met geology with ‘geoneutrinos’
In fact, one considers the crust and the mantle, but not any living beast that could walk on the surface. It is just a matter of definition.
To answer the question about neutrino production in humans or in any other animals, I don't know. Neutrinos arise from nuclear reactions, and there are very small rate of such reactions occurring inside the bodies. I would then imagine than the flux is negligible compared to the rest. But I have nothing to back up my claim. Sorry.
However, if the flux would be large, one should have already seen it in experiments.
Cool. Thanks for responding. I just wanted to see if there was more to it. Probably could have looked it up, but what is engagement for? :)
Any question is a good question! At least from my standpoint. Thanks for having passed by and not hesitated to ask yours (I also had to do some research to try to get an answer, which is always a positive outcome) :)
