High Energy Tau Neutrinos

چکیده
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 production and its implications for the observation of high energy neutrino events.

متن کاملHigh Energy Astrophysical Tau Neutrinos: The Expectations
A search for high energy astrophysical tau neutrinos will not only yield quite useful information about some of the highest energy phenomenons occurring in the present universe related to the origin of observed high energy gamma rays and ultra high energy cosmic rays but also can possibly probe physics beyond standard model of particle physics. The representative extra terrestrial sources of hi...
متن کاملTracing very high energy neutrinos from cosmological distances in ice
Astrophysical sources of ultrahigh energy neutrinos yield tau neutrino fluxes due to neutrino oscillations. We study in detail the contribution of tau neutrinos with energies above 106 GeV relative to the contribution of the other flavors. We consider several different initial neutrino fluxes and include tau neutrino regeneration in transit through the Earth and energy loss of charged leptons. ...
متن کاملAstrophysical tau neutrino detection in kilometer-scale Cherenkov detectors via muonic tau decay
Kilometer-scale deep under-ice or -water Cherenkov neutrino detectors may detect muon and electron neutrinos from astrophysical sources at energies of a TeV and above. Tau neutrinos are also expected from these sources due to neutrino flavor oscillations in vacuum, and tau neutrinos are free of atmospheric background at a much lower energy than muon and electron neutrinos. Identification of tau...
متن کاملThe Appearance of Tau Neutrinos from a Gamma Ray Burst
The muon neutrinos from the Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) during their propagation oscillate to tau neutrinos. The tau neutrinos can be identified by the appearance of tau leptons, which decay to muons below the detector. We examine the prospect of detecting these tau neutrinos from individual GRBs in a large area muon detector. We investigate for what range of values of the physical parameters of th...
