Tracing 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 کاملParticle Dynamics in LEP at Very High Energy
As the beam energy of LEP is increased up to 90 GeV (LEP2) and beyond, the single-particle dynamics is ever more strongly in uenced by the emission of synchrotron radiation. The program MAD has recently been modi ed to simulate individual photon emissions in magnetic elements (or the classical component). E ects of radiation damping and quantum uctuations (the 6-dimensional \sawtooth" closed or...
متن کاملTime-varying Quark Masses and Cosmological Axion Energy
The possibility is examined that the masses of the light quarks u and d have varied over the course of the universe's evolution. Such a variation would have an effect on axion cosmology, and can be the basis of a solution of the so-called axion energy problem. If this is the case, a scalar force somewhat weaker than gravity could exist that has a range of order 1 km. There is a long history of ...
متن کاملVery Light Axion
Here, the question arises, “Why is |θ̄| so small?”, which is the parameter problem in the standard model. It is commonly called the strong CP problem. Most small parameters in physics have led to some ideas, mostly those related to symmetries. For example, the small ratio MW /MP ≪ 1 (the so-called gauge hierarchy problem) led to supersymmetric solution [3], and mu,md ≪ 1 GeV led to the chiral sy...
متن کاملGalactic very high energy sources and enhancements of material content
The association of very-high energy (VHE; E > 100GeV) sources with regions of the sky rich in dust and gas has been noticed in the study of individual VHE sources. However, the statistical significance of this correlation for the whole population of TeV detections has not been assessed yet. To trace the material content, we make use of the publicly released all-sky maps of astrophysical foregro...
