A study on the appearance of tau neutrinos from a gamma ray burst by detecting their horizontal electromagnetic showers

چکیده

We explore the possibilty of detecting horizontal electromagnetic showers of tau neutrinos from individual gamma ray bursts in large scale detectors like HiRes and Telescope Array. We study the role of the parameters of a gamma ray burst in determining the expected number of tau events from that burst. The horizontal beam of tau leptons produce visible signals in the atmosphere. It is interesting to find that there is a good chance of observing tau lepton appearances from GRBs with Telescope Array. The number of signals is strongly dependent on the Lorentz factor Γ, redshift z of a GRB, energy emitted in muon neutrinos and antineutrinos EGRB and also on some other parameters of a GRB. It is possible to understand neutrino oscillations in astrophysical neutrinos and the mechanism or model of neutrino production inside a GRB by detection or non detection of tau lepton signals from it.

The 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...

Sensitivity of JEM-EUSO to GRB Neutrinos

JEM-EUSO is a mission to study ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) by measuring the fluorescence light from giant air showers at the altitude of the International Space Station. In the tilted mode, JEM-EUSO will become very sensitive to the Čerenkov light from the earth skimming tau neutrinos at the energy range of 10eV. In this paper we will discuss high-energy tau neutrinos from nearby gamm...

Neutrinos from Gamma Ray Bursts

We show that the detection of neutrinos from a typical gamma ray burst requires a kilometer-scale detector. We argue that large bursts should be visible with the neutrino telescopes under construction. We emphasize the 3 techniques by which neutrino telescopes can perform this search: by triggering on i) bursts of muons from muon neutrinos, ii) muons from air cascades initiated by high energy g...

A study on the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in extensive air showers

The dependence of the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light in simulated extensive air showers to the energy and the mass of the primary cosmic rays has been studied. It has been shown that a previous claim about mass independent proportionality of shower energy to the total Cherenkov photon number is not valid in energies below EEAS ~ 1014 eV. We have found that the core distance of the so c...
