Earth–skimming UHE Tau Neutrinos at the Fluorescence Detector of Pierre Auger Observatory
Ultra high energy neutrinos are produced by the interaction of hadronic cosmic rays with the cosmic radiation background. More exotic scenarios like topological defects or new hadrons predict even larger fluxes. In particular, Earth–skimming tau neutrinos could be detected by the Fluorescence Detector (FD) of Pierre Auger Observatory. A detailed evaluation of the expected number of events has b...
متن کاملThe Relevance of Mediterranean Neutrino Telescope Sites on Earth-skimming tau neutrino detection
Neutrinos are one of the main components of the cosmic radiation in the ultra-high energy (UHE) regime. Although their fluxes are uncertain and depend on the production mechanism, their detection can provide information on the sources and origin of the UHE cosmic rays. For example, UHE neutrinos can be produced via πphotoproduction by strongly accelerated hadrons in presence of a background ele...
متن کاملEnhanced signal of astrophysical tau neutrinos propagating through Earth
Earth absorbs ne and nm of energies above about 100 TeV. As is well known, although nt will also disappear through charged-current interactions, the nt flux will be regenerated by prompt tau decays. We show that this process also produces relatively large fluxes of secondary n̄e and n̄m , greatly enhancing the detectability of the initial nt . This is particularly important because at these energ...
متن کاملSupernova neutrinos : Earth matter effects and neutrino mass spectrum
We perform a detailed study of the Earth matter effects on supernova neutrinos. The dependences of these effects on the properties of the original neutrino fluxes, on the trajectory of the neutrinos inside the Earth and on the oscillation parameters are described. We show that, for a large fraction (∼ 60%) of the possible arrival times of the signal, the neutrino flux crosses a substantial amou...
متن کاملTau Neutrinos from Astrophysical and Cosmological Sources
Previous work on the neutrino spectra from high energy sources has not included the tau neutrinos directly produced by the decays in the source. Here we consider the tau neutrino component and discuss how its inclusion modifies the expected neutrino spectra. We discuss implications for interpreting any observed tau neutrino component in TeV UHE events as evidence of νμ → ντ oscillations.
