【 摘 要 】

Neutrinos have been studied ever since they were predicted by Pauli with ever increasing vigor. The recent flurry of studies on neutrinos from the Earth is coming from its first detection in 2003 at Kamiokande which has already set some non trivial limits on the radiogenic heat flux. Geoneutrino detection in future experiments hold the promises of both improving our knowledge of neutrino's properties as well as of the geophysics of the Earth. It may even settle definitively the controversial issue of whether or not there could be a georeactor at the centre of our planet.
