Earth tomography with neutrinos in KM3NeT-ORCA

The study of atmospheric neutrinos crossing the Earth can provide tomographic information on the Earth’s interior, complementary to the standard geophysics methods. This contribution presents an updated study of the potential of the KM3NeT-ORCA detector for neutrino oscillation tomography of the Ear...
