Explanation of basic particle properties of neutrinos are given
with the relevant experiments. Several historically important
experiments are also briefly introduced including oscillation
observation .

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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)...

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...

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...
