Description
The Earth may provide an interesting source both for the production and detection of axions. The crust and mantle portion contain heavy radionuclides, which can produce axions either via nuclear transitions or Primakoff scattering. We look at the detection capabilities of large scale neutrino detectors like DUNE, JUNO, etc. in probing the axion-nucleus coupling $g_{aNN}$ as well as the axion-photon coupling $g_{a\gamma}$.
