High Energy Tau Neutrinos
The intrinsic tau neutrino flux from cosmological and astrophysical sources has usually been considered negligible in comparison to the electron and muon neutrino fluxes. However, the inclusion of the tau neutrino component coming from hadronic decay at the source can significantly modify the tau neutrino spectrum expected at Earth. We report our results on the high energy tau neutrino producti...
متن کاملHigh Energy Cosmic Tau Neutrinos
In this contribution i discuss the possibility of production of high energy cosmic tau neutrinos (E ≥ 10 GeV) in cores of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) originating from proton acceleration. The effects of three flavour neutrino mixing on this high energy cosmic tau neutrino flux and the prospects for its observations through double shower events [1]. In addition to AGNs, high energy cosmic tau n...
متن کاملHigh Energy Astrophysical Tau Neutrinos: The Expectations
A search for high energy astrophysical tau neutrinos will not only yield quite useful information about some of the highest energy phenomenons occurring in the present universe related to the origin of observed high energy gamma rays and ultra high energy cosmic rays but also can possibly probe physics beyond standard model of particle physics. The representative extra terrestrial sources of hi...
متن کاملUpper limit on the diffuse flux of ultrahigh energy tau neutrinos from the Pierre Auger Observatory.
The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory is sensitive to Earth-skimming tau neutrinos that interact in Earth's crust. Tau leptons from nu(tau) charged-current interactions can emerge and decay in the atmosphere to produce a nearly horizontal shower with a significant electromagnetic component. The data collected between 1 January 2004 and 31 August 2007 are used to place an up...
متن کاملShadowing of Ultrahigh Energy Neutrinos
The rise with energy of the neutrino–nucleon cross section implies that at energies above few TeV the Earth is becoming opaque to cosmic neutrinos. The neutrinos interact with the nucleons through the weak charged current, resulting into absorption, and the weak neutral current, which provides a redistribution of the neutrino energy. We Mellin transform the neutrino transport equation and find ...
