High-Energy Neutrino Astronomy: Opportunities For Particle Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article, based on the talk given at the Cracow Epiphany Conference on Astroparticle Physics, I discuss some of the opportunities provided by high-energy and ultra-high energy neutrino astronomy in probing particle physics beyond the standard model. Following a short summary of current and next generation experiments, I review the prospects for observations of high-energy neutrino interactions, searches for particle dark matter, and measurements of absolute neutrino masses, lifetimes and pseudo-Dirac mass splittings.

The Particle Physics Reach of High - Energy Neutrino Astronomy
We discuss the prospects for high-energy neutrino astronomy to study particle physics in the energy regime comparable to and beyond that obtainable at the current and planned colliders. We describe the various signatures of high-energy cosmic neutrinos expected in both neutrino telescopes and air shower experiments and discuss these measurements within the context of theoretical models with a q...

Neutrinos may offer a unique opportunity to explore the far Universe at high energy. The ANTARES collaboration aims at building a large undersea neutrino detector able to observe astrophysical sources (AGNs, X-ray binary systems, ...) and to study particle physics topics (neutrino oscillation, ...). After a description of the research opportunities of such a detector, a status report of the exp...
متن کاملAstroparticle Physics with High Energy Neutrinos: from AMANDA to IceCube
Kilometer-scale neutrino detectors such as IceCube are discovery instruments covering nuclear and particle physics, cosmology and astronomy. Examples of their multidisciplinary missions include the search for the particle nature of dark matter and for additional small dimensions of space. In the end, their conceptual design is very much anchored to the observational fact that Nature produces pr...
