KamLAND results and the radiogenic terrestrial heat

Abstract
We find that recent results from the KamLAND collaboration on geologically produced antineutrinos, N(U+Th) = 28+16-15 events, correspond to a radiogenic heat production from Uranium and Thorium decay chains H(U+Th) = 38+35-33 TW. The 99% confidence limit on the geo-neutrino signal translates into the upper bound H(U+Th) < 162 TW, which is much weaker than that claimed by KamLAND, H(U+Th) < 60 TW, based on a too narrow class of geological models. We also performed an analysis of KamLAND data including recent high precision measurements of the C13(α,n)O16 cross section. The result, N(U+Th) = 31+14-13, corroborates the evidence (approx 2.5σ) for geo-neutrinos in KamLAND data.
