Description
The expected capabilities of Liquid Argon Time projection Chambers (LArTPCs) will allow for an impressive reconstruction of sub-GeV atmospheric neutrinos interactions in the future DUNE experiment. Since standard oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos are crucially dependent on the matter profile of the Earth, it will be possible to study the interior of our planet. Considering a realistic simulation that accounts for particle reconstruction, nuclear physics effects, and several uncertainties on the atmospheric neutrino flux, we show that the DUNE experiment can measure the total mass of the Earth at the 10% level. Meanwhile, if one imposes constraints from the total mass and moment of inertia, the density of the core can be constrained at the 9% level.
