Reconstruction of the Earth's matter density profile using a single neutrino baseline

• In this Letter, we show numerically that a symmetric Earth matter density profile can, in principle, be reconstructed from a single baseline energy spectrum up to a certain precision. For the numerical evaluations in the high-dimensional parameter space we use a genetic algorithm.
