On the transport equations of cosmic neutrinos passing through Earth and secondary νμ fluxes
The convergence of the iterative solutions of the transport equations of cosmic muon and tau neutrinos propagating through Earth is studied and analyzed. For achieving a fast convergence of the iterative solutions of the coupled transport equations of ντ , ν̄τ and the associated τ ± fluxes, a new semi–analytic input algorithm is presented where the peculiar τ–decay contributions are implemented ...
متن کاملCosmic neutrinos
The hunt for cosmic neutrinos has effectively just started. Recently, large detectors have been completed and are running, such as IceCube at the South Pole and ANTARES in the Mediterranean sea. Such detectors begin to access the region where neutrino fluxes at energies above 100 GeV are expected from shock and jet acceleration processes in the universe. The expectation for these fluxes comes f...
متن کاملPropagation of ultrahigh-energy neutrinos through the Earth
The dispersion relation in matter of ultrahigh-energy neutrinos above the pole of the W resonance (Eν ∼ 10 GeV), is studied. We perform our calculation using the real-time formulation of Thermal Field Theory in which the massless limit for the W boson is taken. The range of active-to-sterile neutrino oscillation parameters for which there is significant mixing enhancement during propagation thr...
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 کاملNeutrinos as cosmic messengers
I briefly review the current status of neutrino oscillation parameters and discuss the role of neutrinos as cosmological probes, that could possibly induce the baryon asymmetry as well as the dark matter in the Universe. I comment on the origin of neutrino masses in seesaw-type and low-scale models and mention some of their laboratory signals. STATUS OF NEUTRINO OSCILLATIONS The discovery of ne...
