RE: When particle physics met geology with ‘geoneutrinos’
Very well-explained and interesting artice! I'm curious though, are geoneutrinos the only kind of antineutrinos?

The wording 'geoneutrinos' denote both the neutrinos and antineutrinos that are produced from the decay of the radioactive elements inside Earth. However, there is only a tiny fraction of neutrinos coming from rarer 40K decays. Antineutrinos hence represent more than 99% of all geoneutrinos.
