On first detection of solar neutrinos from CNO cycle with Borexino

2020 
Borexino collaboration reported about first measurement of solar CNO-{\nu} interaction rate in Borexino detector. This result is consistent with Hydridic Earth model prediction about the contribution of 40K geo-antineutrino interactions in single Borexino events. The potassium abundance in the Earth in the range 1 ÷ 1.5% of the Earth mass could give the observed enhancement of counting rate above expected CNO-{\nu} counting rate. The Earth intrinsic heat flux must be in the range 200 ÷ 300 TW for this potassium abundance. This value of the heat flux can explain the ocean heating observed by the project ARGO. The Borexino results of detection of CNO-{\nu} flux support the validity of Hydridic Earth model.
