چکیده
The observation of TeV-gamma rays of π 0 origin from the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 has revealed the first specific site where protons are accelerated to energies typical of the main component of the cosmic rays. In this letter we calculate the high-energy neutrino flux associated with this source to be at least 40 muon-type neutrinos per kilometer-squared per year. We perform the same calculations for other known sources of TeV-gamma rays and show how neutrino observations can establish whether the TeV-gamma rays emitted by blazars and supernova remnants are the decay products of neutral pions and thus unequivocally establish the sources as cosmic accelerators.

We address a class of models in which neutrinos, having a small mass, originate the highest energy cosmic rays interacting with the relic cosmic neutrino background. Assuming lepton number symmetry and an enhanced neutrino

We study a model of the dark energy which exhibits a rapid change in its equation of state w(z), such as occurs in vacuum metamorphosis. We compare the model predictions with CMB, large scale structure and supernova data and show that a late-time transition is marginally preferred over standard ΛCDM.

GENIUS is a proposal for a large volume detector to search for rare events. An array of 40–400 ’naked’ HPGe detectors will be operated in a tank filled with ultrapure liquid nitrogen. After a description of performed technical studies of detector operation in liquid nitrogen and of Monte Carlo simulations of expected background components, the potential of GENIUS for detecting WIMP dark matter,...

Several high energy, > 100 GeV, neutrino telescopes are currently operating or under construction. Their main motivation is the extension of the horizon of neutrino astronomy to cosmological scales. We show that general, model independent, arguments imply that ∼ 1 Gton detectors are required to detect cosmic high energy neutrino sources. Predictions of models of some of the leading candidate so...
