KM3NeT-ORCA is a water-Cherenkov neutrino detector designed for studying the oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos, with the primary objective of measuring the neutrino mass ordering. Atmospheric neutrinos crossing the Earth undergo matter effects, modifying the pattern of their flavour oscillations. The study of the angular and energy distribution of neutrino events in ORCA can therefore provide tomographic information on the Earth’s interior with an independent technique, complementary to the…

It is shown that the next-generation large-volume neutrino detectors can provide sufficient sensitivity to reject extreme cases of outer core composition and thereby reshape the understanding of the inner Earth in previously unimagined ways.
