The Tau Neutrino Candidacy
نویسنده
چکیده
The tau neutrino is a neutral third generation lepton contained within the Standard Model Family Several experiments have been studying the properties of the tau neutrino nevertheless it has yet to be directly observed Several di erent methods that can allow one to study the mass of the tau neutrino are presented in this review The measurements of the lifetime and magnetic moment of the tau neutrino are discussed and the relationship of the tau neutrino to astrophysical phenomena is presented

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 کاملTau Neutrino Astronomy in GeV Energies
We point out the opportunity of the tau neutrino astronomy for the neutrino energy E ranging between 10 GeV and 10 GeV. In this energy range, the intrinsic tau neutrino production is suppressed relative to the intrinsic muon neutrino production. Any sizable tau neutrino flux may thus arise because of the νμ → ντ neutrino oscillations only. It is demonstrated that, in the presence of the neutrin...

It is shown that recent results from the Super-Kamiokande detector constrain the tau neutrino diagonal magnetic moment to µ ντ < 1.3 × 10 −7 µ B for the case of ν µ → ν τ interpretation of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. It is pointed out that the large magnetic moment of the tau neutrino could affect further understanding of the origin of the anomaly. Recent results from the Super-Kamiokande...
متن کاملDouble bang flashes with IceCube
Astronomy and particle astrophysics with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory benefit from tau neutrino detection. Tau neutrinos produce distinct, nearly background free electromagnetic showers within the volume of IceCube. The search for tau neutrino extragalactic point sources requires accurate event reconstruction. Utilizing LED flashers within IceCube allows for the simulation and calibration o...
