0 Role of Group and Phase Velocity in High - Energy Neutrino Observatories

چکیده
Kuzmichev recently showed that use of phase velocity rather than group velocity for Cherenkov light signals and pulses from calibration lasers in high-energy neutrino telescopes leads to errors in track reconstruction and distance measurement. We amplify on his remarks and show that errors for four cases of interest to AMANDA, IceCube, and RICE (radio Cherenkov detector) are negligibly small.

Dumand and Amanda: High Energy Neutrino Astrophysics
The eld of high energy neutrino astrophysics is entering an exciting new phase as two, new, large-scale observatories prepare to come on line. Both DUMAND (Deep Underwater Muon and Neutrino Detector) and AMANDA (Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector) had major deployment e orts in December 1993{January 1994. Results were mixed, with both projects making substantial progress, but encountering set...
متن کاملProbing Neutrino Dark Energy with Extremely High-Energy Cosmic Neutrinos
Recently, a new non-Standard Model neutrino interaction mediated by a light scalar field was proposed, which renders the big-bang relic neutrinos of the cosmic neutrino background a natural dark energy candidate, the so-called Neutrino Dark Energy. As a further consequence of this interaction, the neutrino masses become functions of the neutrino energy densities and are thus promoted to dynamic...
متن کاملUltra-High Energy Cosmic Ray and Neutrino Observations
Recent measurements of ultra-high energy cosmic rays and neutrinos are reviewed. With several new large scale observatories nearing completion or becoming fully operational only very recently, a large body of high quality and high statistics data is growing up now. Already these first data have started to open up a new window to the high energy Universe giving us first direct clues about the or...
متن کاملNeutrino Observatories Can Characterize Cosmic Sources and Neutrino Properties
Neutrino telescopes that measure relative fluxes of ultrahigh-energy νe, νμ, ντ can give information about the location and characteristics of sources, about neutrino mixing, and can test for neutrino instability and for departures from CPT invariance in the neutrino sector. We investigate consequences of neutrino mixing for the neutrino flux arriving at Earth, and consider how terrestrial meas...
متن کاملEstimation of Velocity and Detonation Pressure of some High Energy Compounds using Kamlet Method based on Kistiakowski-Wilson Rules
In the present study, the heat of detonation of high energy compounds with CaHbNcOd formula was obtained according to Kistiakowski-Wilson rules. Comparison of these results with experimental date, group additivity method and Kamlet method shows that the values of heat detonation based on the Kistiakowski-Wilson rules are more accurate. In the following, the values of detonation velocity and de...
