Observing matter effects in atmospheric neutrinos travelling through the entire mantle and core of the Earth is a promising way of enhancing our understanding of Earth's density structure. In that context we study the prospects of Earth tomography with the ICAL detector at the India-based Neutrino Observatory. While this experiment is smaller in size in comparison to some of the other bigger detectors being proposed, it is the only neutrino experiment with charge-identification sensitivity. In particular, ICAL can see matter effects separately in neutrinos and antineutrinos. This has been seen to enhance ICAL's sensitivity to earth matter effects and hence the mass ordering sensitivity for both normal and inverted mass orderings. It is therefore, pertinent to see if the ICAL sensitivity to earth tomography is competitive or better with respect to other experiments, especially for the inverted mass ordering, where other experiments suffer reduced sensitivity. We present the sensitivity of ICAL to earth tomography by taking into consideration both the Earth's mass constraint as well as the hydrostatic equilibrium constraints.

  1. Second-Order Perturbative Correction for Neutrino Oscillation Tomography of the Earth

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Second-order perturbative neutrino oscillation probabilities for generic (non-symmetric) Earth density profiles enable accurate multi-shell evolution for oscillation tomography.

  2. Neutrino Oscillation Tomography of the Earth with the Hyper-Kamiokande Detector

    hep-ex 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hyper-Kamiokande could measure the average core density with an uncertainty around -14%/+40% at nominal resolution, improving to about -8%/+10% with better resolution, after 6500 days.

  3. Estimating the sensitivity of the IceCube Upgrade to probe the interior of the Earth using atmospheric neutrino oscillations

    hep-ex 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Monte Carlo sensitivity study projects that the IceCube Upgrade with DeepCore can detect Earth matter effects at 5.5-7.1 sigma, reject a uniform Earth at 2.4 sigma, and measure the Earth's mass to about 10% precision.
