This paper briefly reviews recent developments in the field of geo-neutrinos. It describes current and future detection projects, discusses modeling projects, suggests an observational program, and visits geo-reactor hypotheses.
Neutrino oscillations searches with laboratory beams from accelerators or reactors explore several flavor transition channels, aud thus cannot be globally analysed in a simplistic two-flavor approach. A three-neutrino spectrum with two widely different mass gaps provides a simple and natural scheme
Geo-neutrino detection will determine the amount of long lived radioactive elements within our planet and fix the debated radiogenic contribution to the terrestrial heat. In addition, it will provide a direct test of the Bulk Silicate Earth model, a fundamental cosmochemical paradigm about the origi
