Abstract
It is now widely believed in neutrino physics that neutrino oscillations are influenced by the presence of matter, modifying the energy spectrum produced by a neutrino beam traversing the Earth. Here, we will discuss the reverse problem, i.e., what could be learned about the Earth's interior from a single neutrino baseline energy spectrum, especially about the Earth's mantle. In the end of the paper, we will finally investigate if one could really find petroleum using this method.
