Theoretically Palatable Flavor Combinations of Astrophysical Neutrinos.
The flavor composition of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos can reveal the physics governing their production, propagation, and interaction. The IceCube Collaboration has published the first experimental determination of the ratio of the flux in each flavor to the total. We present, as a theoretical counterpart, new results for the allowed ranges of flavor ratios at Earth for arbitrary flavor...
متن کاملProbing Flavor Transition Mechanisms of Astrophysical Neutrinos
The determination of neutrino flavor transition mechanism by neutrino telescopes is presented. We first propose a model-independent parametrization for flavor transitions (such as standard three-flavor oscillations, neutrino decays or others) of astrophysical neutrinos propagating from their sources to the Earth. We demonstrate how one can constrain parameters of the above parametrization by pe...
متن کاملStrongly Interacting Astrophysical Neutrinos∗
The origin and chemical composition of ultra high energy cosmic rays is still an open question in astroparticle physics. The observed large-scale isotropy and also direct composition measurements can be interpreted as an extragalactic proton dominance above the ankle at about 10 GeV. Photopion production of extragalactic protons in the cosmic microwave background predicts a cutoff at about 5 × ...
متن کاملHigh energy astrophysical neutrinos
High energy neutrinos with energy typically greater than tens of thousands of GeV may originate from several astrophysical sources. The sources may include, for instance, our galaxy, the active centers of nearby galaxies, as well as possibly the distant sites of gamma ray bursts. I briefly review some aspects of production and propagation as well as prospects for observations of these high ener...
متن کاملAstrophysical and Cosmological Neutrinos
— We review the role of massive neutrinos in astrophysics and cosmol-ogy, assuming that the oscillation interpretation of solar and atmospheric neutrinos is correct. In particular, we discuss cosmological mass limits, neutrino flavor oscillations in the early universe, leptogenesis, and neutrinos in core-collapse supernovae.
