Geo-neutrino studies are based on theoretical estimates of geo-neutrino spectra. We propose a method for a direct measurement of the energy distribution of antineutrinos from decays of long-lived radioactive isotopes. We present preliminary results for the geo-neutrinos from {sup 214}Bi decay, a process that accounts for about one-half of the total geo-neutrino signal. The feeding probability of the lowest state of {sup 214}Bi--the most important for geo-neutrino signal--is found to be p{sub 0…

New data on solar-neutrino flux measurements are presented, and their compatibility with the Mikheev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein oscillation model is discussed. A review is given to topical problems in
Geoneutrinos and the radioactive power of the Earth
Chemical and physical Earth models agree little as to the radioactive power of the planet. Each predicts a range of radioactive powers, overlapping slightly with the other at about 24 TW, and
Nonaccelerator neutrino physics
The subject of these lectures is experimental nonaccelerator neutrino physics. We discuss experiments on solar and atmospheric neutrino flux measurements, as well as experiments devoted to recording
