Abstract

The Borexino collaboration observed an excess of the counting rate over the expected counting rate of events from CNO-ν. This result is consistent with the prediction of the Hydridic Earth Model on the contribution of 40K geo-antineutrino scattering on electrons to single Borexino events. The proportion of potassium in the Earth 1.5 ± 1.0% of the Earth’s mass is the most likely value that provides the observed excess of the counting rate.
