Observation of UHE Neutrino Interactions from Outer Space
نویسنده
چکیده
The interaction of UHE neutrinos can be observed from outer space. The advantage of the proposed method is that the Earth can be used as an energy filter as well as a target. We sketch the potentials of these observations in searching for particle physics beyond the Standard Model of elementary particle interactions as well as observations of astronomical objects such as active galactic nuclei.

Prototype Detector for Ultrahigh Energy Neutrino Detectiony
Necessary technical experience is being gained from successful construction and deployment of current prototype detectors to search for UHE neutrinos in Antarctica, Lake Baikal in Russia, and the Mediterranean. The prototype detectors have also the important central purpose of determining whether or not UHE neutrinos do in fact exist in nature by observation of at least a few UHE neutrino-induc...

متن کاملRadio Detection of UHE-Neutrinos: Cosmic Tracers of the High Energy Universe
Identifying the sources of the highest energy cosmic rays is a fundamental unsolved problem in both high-energy physics and astrophysics. Ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos provide a key probe to the nature and location of cosmic ray engines since they travel essentially unimpeded from their source to our solar system, providing a directional tracer of their origin. The first generation of UHE n...
متن کاملPropagation of ultra-high energy neutrinos in the cosmic neutrino background
UHE cosmic neutrino interaction with the cosmic neutrino background (CnuB) is expected to produce absorption dips in the UHE neutrino flux at energies above the threshold for Z-boson resonant production. The observation of these dips would constitute an evidence for the existence of the CnuB; they could also be used to determine the value of the relic neutrino masses as well as some features of...
متن کاملOrigin and evolution of cosmic accelerators - the unique discovery potential of an UHE neutrino telescope
One of the most tantalizing questions in astronomy and astrophysics, namely the origin and the evolution of the cosmic accelerators that produce the highest energy cosmic rays (UHECR), may be best addressed through the observation of ultra high energy (UHE) cosmogenic neutrinos. Neutrinos travel from their source undeflected by magnetic fields and unimpeded by interactions with the cosmic micro...
