Some Uses of Neutrino Telescopes
نویسنده
چکیده
We imagine that large neutrino telescopes will be built and that distant neutrino sources of high energies and fluxes exist. Some possible, if difficult, uses to which they might be put are described; including (i) detecting neutrino mass-mixing possibly upto δm of 10eV ; (ii) measuring neutrino cross-sections at PeV energies; (iii) detecting relic neutrinos; (iv) doing cosmology with neutrinos and (v) SETI with neutrinos.

Searching For Dark Matter with Neutrino Telescopes
One of the most interesting mysteries of astrophysics is the puzzle of dark matter. Although numerous techniques have been explored and developed to detect this elusive substance, its nature remains unknown. One such method uses large high-energy neutrino telescopes to look for the annihilation products of dark matter annihilations. In this summary article, we briefly review this technique. We ...
متن کاملIndirect Detection of Dirac Right-Handed Neutrino Dark Matter
We present the signatures and prospects for the indirect detection of a Dirac righthanded neutrino dark matter candidate in neutrino telescopes, cosmic positron experiments and gamma-ray telescopes. An example of such a dark matter candidate can be found in extra-dimensional models. In some constructions, Kaluza–Klein states with the gauge quantum numbers of a right-handed neutrino can have siz...
متن کاملUnusual Events in Neutrino Telescopes: Signatures of New Physics
A class of physical phenomena outside the framework of the perturbatively treated Standard Model of electroweak and strong interactions gives rise to characteristic signatures in neutrino telescopes. In essence, the signature is a large energy deposition in the neighborhood of the telescope, giving rise to large and concentrated Cherenkov light emission, and in some cases, to energetic muon bun...
متن کاملStatus of Radio and Acoustic Detection of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Neutrinos and a Proposal on Reporting Results
Neutrino astronomy offers the possibility to perform extra-galactic observations well beyond the photon absorption cutoff above 5 × 10 eV. Based on observations of cosmic rays, we already know that astrophysical sources produce particles with at least a million times more energy than this photon cutoff. Once discovered, either the nature of the sources themselves or the cross sections of ultra-...
متن کاملNeutrino Conversions in Active Galactic Nuclei
I discuss the possibility of production of high energy cosmic neutrinos (E ≥ 10 GeV) in cores of active galactic nuclei and study some of the effects of neutrino mixing on their subsequent propagation. I also discuss the prospects for observations of these high energy cosmic neutrinos in new km surface area underwater/ice neutrino telescopes.
