Scientific paper

It is demonstrated that the earth is a rich source of antineutrinos whose detection can provide otherwise inaccessible key information on the internal structure and dynamics of the earth. By considering the antineutrino background from other sources, it is found that there may be a diffuse background of about 10 MeV antineutrinos from supernovas which, if detected, could yield information on the energy and frequency of supernovas.
