  5. 35. Neutrino Absorption Tomography
    Kotoyo Hoshina (Earthquake Research Institute, the University of Tokyo)

    For more than 30 years, the idea of probing the interior of the Earth with neutrinos has been discussed. Of all the matter that exists on Earth, only neutrinos can penetrate the maximum thickness of the Earth. Some neutrinos interact with atoms deep inside the Earth where we cannot sample the material. They provide information about the matter density or the electron density of materials along...

  7. 19. Recent advances on the composition of the Lower Mantle and Core
    William McDonough (University of Maryland)
    07/01/2016, 13:30
    Compositional models of the core and lower mantle will be reviewed and assessed. Assumptions in the models along with constraints and uncertainties of the Earth’s interior will be presented. Although a compositional model for the lower mantle that matches that of the upper mantle for major elements is most compatible with observations and constraints, uncertainties are such that competing...

  8. 26. Seismological Constraints on Velocity and Density in the Earth's Core
    Nozomu TAKEUCHI (University of Tokyo)
    07/01/2016, 14:00
    I review the seismological studies on the velocity and density in the Earth's core. I will introduce (1) how their models have been obtained, (2) how much uncertainties such models have, and (3) what is important future research topics.

  9. 34. Theoretical Mineral Physics for Study on Earth's Deep Interior
    Prof. Taku Tsuchiya (Geodynamics Research Center, Ehime University, Japan Dearth-Life Science Institute, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan)
    07/01/2016, 14:30
    Recent progress in theoretical and computational mineral physics based on the density functional techniques has been dramatic in conjunction with the advancement of computer technologies. It is now possible to predict phase stability and several physical properties of complex minerals quantitatively in the pressure and temperature conditions corresponding directly to the deep planetary...

  10. 27. Recent progress in studies of the geomagnetic field and dynamics of the Earth’s core
    Prof. Hisayoshi Shimizu (Earthquake Research Institute, The University of Tokyo)
    07/01/2016, 15:00
    Main part of the geomagnetic field is generated by dynamo process in the Earth’s core. This implies that the geomagnetic field and its secular variation have potential to reveal the dynamics of the Earth’s core. In this talk, I am going to introduce recent progress of the studies of Earth’s core using the geomagnetic field. It has been suggested that decadal variation of the...

  11. 28. Composition, physical properties, and thermal state of the core
    Prof. Eiji Ohtani (Tohoku University)
    07/01/2016, 16:00
    Recent advance in high-pressure mineral physics of the Earth’s central regions are reviewed. The density of the core is lower than that of pure iron under the core conditions. Recent analyses of the equation of state and the sound velocity of solid and liquid iron and iron–nickel alloys strongly suggest that the core contains light elements. Possible candidates for the light elements in the...

  12. 24. Importance of tighter constraints on U and Th abundances of the whole Earth by Geo-neutrino determinations

    The Earth is differentiated and chemically heterogeneous planet. Chondrites, undifferentiated meteorites, have been used to estimate the composition of the Earth. Chondrites are similar in composition to the Sun except volatile elements. They have been considered to keep the composition of the building blocks of the Earth regarding refractory (not volatile) elements. Because both parent and...

  13. 23. Last and next decade in geoneutrino measurements.
    Fabio Mantovani (INFN - National Institute for Nuclear Physics)
    07/01/2016, 17:00
    In July 2005 KamLAND collaboration claimed the first evidence of geoneutrinos on Nature journal. After a decade of measurements, KamLAND (Japan) and Borexino (Italy) experiments confirmed that the technology is ready to measure the geoneutrino signal with enough statistics for answering some fundamental questions of Earth Science. Taking into account that SNO+ (Canada) and JUNO (China)...

  15. 25. Status of Hyper-Kamiokande
    Roger Wendell (The University of Tokyo)
    08/01/2016, 09:30
    Hyper-Kamiokande is a next-generation water Cherenkov detector whose expected size and detection efficiency will enable it to make contributions to the field of geophysics, in particular studies of the earth's chemical composition, through observations of atmospheric neutrinos. This talk will focus on the status of the Hyper-Kamiokande project and will discuss sensitivity estimates relevant to...

    Dr Hiroko Watanabe (Tohoku University)
    08/01/2016, 11:30
    The **Kam**ioka **L**iquid-scintillator **A**nti-**N**eutrino **D**etector (KamLAND) is located in a rock cavern in the Kamioka mine, 1,000 m below the summit of Mt. Ikenoyama in Japan. KamLAND is marked by the ability to detect low-energy anti-neutrino signals at 1,000 tons of ultra pure liquid scintillator through the inverse \beta reaction, \bar{\nu}_{e} + p \rightarraw e + n. We...
