Unparticle decay of neutrinos and it’s effect on ultra high energy neutrinos
نویسنده
چکیده
The unparticle is proposed by Georgi as a conceptual new physics beyond the standard model to describe the low energy sector of a nontrivial scale invariant sector of an effective theory. We consider the neutrino decay in unparticle scenario and investigate the effect of such decay for the case of ultra high energy neutrinos from GRB. The effect on the detection yield of these neutrinos are also probed for a kilometer scale ice-Cerenkov detector.

On the energy of neutrinos from gamma ray bursts
Ultra high energy protons accelerated at the shocks causing gamma ray bursts photoproduce pions, and then neutrinos in situ. I consider here the sources of losses in this process, namely adiabatic and synchrotron losses by both pions and muons. When the shocks under consideration are external, i.e., those between the ejecta and the surrounding interstellar medium, I show that neutrinos produced...
متن کاملCosmogenic Neutrinos from Ultra-high Energy Nuclei
We calculate the flux of neutrinos generated by the propagation of ultra-high energy iron over cosmological distances and show that even if ultra-high energy cosmic rays are composed of heavy nuclei, a significant flux of high-energy neutrinos should be present throughout the universe. The resulting neutrino flux has a new peak at ∼ 10 14 eV generated by neutron decay and reproduces the double ...
متن کاملNeutrino Decays and Neutrino Electron Elastic Scattering in Unparticle Physics
Following Georgi’s unparticle scheme, we examine the effective couplings between neutrinos and unparticle operators. As an immediate consequence, neutrinos become unstable and can decay into the unparticle stuff. Assuming the dimension transmutation scale is around ΛU ∼ 1 TeV, we implement the cosmological limit on the neutrino lifetime to constrain the neutrino-unparticle couplings for differe...
متن کاملCosmogenic Neutrinos from the propagation of Ultra High Energy Nuclei
We calculate the flux of neutrinos generated by the propagation of ultra-high energy nuclei over cosmological distances. The propagation takes into account the interactions with cosmic background radiations including the CMB and the most recent estimates of higher energy (infra-red, optical, and ultra violet) backgrounds. We assume that the composition of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) ...
متن کاملUltra High Energy Neutrino Signature in Top-Down Scenario
Neutrinos are the best candidates to test the extreme Universe and ideas beyond the Standard Model of particle Physics. Once produced, neutrinos do not suffer any kind of attenuation by intervening radiation fields like the Cosmic Microwave Background and are not affected by magnetic fields. In this sense neutrinos are useful messengers from the far and young Universe. In the present paper we w...
