“…We have learned how to respond to the objections to Hydridic Earth model. The answers to the main objections are published in [7,8,9,10]. Here we note that the entire Earth could not have melt because the Hydridic Earth model contains a subsurface cooling mechanism that is activated when the subsurface is heated enough to decompose the metal hydrides.…”

We propose to include in the analysis of Borexino single event energy spectrum the scattering of 40 K geo-antineutrinos by scintillator electrons. The Hydridic Earth model predicts the concentration of potassium in modern Earth from 1% to 4% of the Earth mass. We calculated contribution of 40 K geo-antineutrino interactions in single Borexino events for these concentrations. This contribution is comparable to the contribution from the interaction of CNO neutrinos. We discuss the reasons for using the Hydridic Earth model.

“…It is also noted in [7,8,9,10] that thermal conductivity is not the main mechanism of heat transfer in the Earth, but protons and hydrogen-containing gases carry out the heat away. In these works the experimental evidences are provided that the heat flux from Earth interior can reach the several hundreds TW.…”

“…Therefore, in the Hydridic Earth model, the subsurface temperature oscillates [6] and not grows up till hydrides exist in the Earth. This argument was used in [10,11,12,13]. It is noted in these works that thermal conductivity is not the main mechanism of heat transfer in the Earth, but protons and hydrogen-containing gases carry out the heat away.…”

Borexino collaboration reported about first measurement of solar CNO-ν interaction rate in Borexino detector. This result is consistent with Hydridic Earth model prediction about the contribution of 40 K 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-ν 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. We consider that Hydridic Earth model actually corresponds better to CNO-ν Borexino results than Silicate Earth model. Introduction.Recently the Borexino collaboration [1] reported at Neutrino2020 the results of first detection of solar neutrinos from CNO cycle and published the arXiv [2]. They used of two types of analysis of experimental data: Counting Analysis (CA) and Multivariate fit (MF).We will use the following notations below. Differential energy spectrum of recoil electron counting rate:R ′ (E) = dR(E) dE .(1)

“…The numbers are the count rate per day per 100 t for different sources of count rate. The black lines are the result of our calculations [2], [4] of the possible contribution of 40 K geo-antineutrino in count rate of single events of Borexino detector. The upper black line corresponds to 4% of K in the Earth mass, the bottom black line corresponds to 1% of K in the Earth mass.…”

We discussed the idea of big value of potassium abundance in the Earth. We showed that Borexino single event spectrum permit the potassium abundance up to 2% instead of the CNO neutrino flux contribution. Works [5], [6] introduce the idea that fast α particles are appeared in nuclear processes in solar core plasma. The reactions of these α particles with CNO nuclei can suppress the CNO neutrino flux. We demonstrated the connection between the existence of Earth’s electric field and the big value of 40K geo-neutrino flux because the both phenomena are the sequences from Hydride Earth model.
