High-energy cosmic neutrinos and the equivalence principle.
Observation of ultra-high energy neutrinos, in particular detection of ντ , from cosmologically distant sources like active galactic nuclei (AGN) opens new possibilities to search for neutrino flavor conversion. We consider the effects of violation of the equivalence principle (VEP) on propagation of these cosmic neutrinos. In particular, we discuss the two effects: (1) the oscillations of neut...
متن کاملHigh Energy Cosmic Neutrinos
While the general principles of high-energy neutrino detection have been understood for many years, the deep, remote geographical locations of suitable detector sites have challenged the ingenuity of experimentalists, who have confronted unusual deployment, calibration, and robustness issues. Two high energy neutrino programs are now operating (Baikal and AMANDA), with the expectation of usheri...
متن کاملHigh Energy Cosmic Tau Neutrinos
In this contribution i discuss the possibility of production of high energy cosmic tau neutrinos (E ≥ 10 GeV) in cores of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) originating from proton acceleration. The effects of three flavour neutrino mixing on this high energy cosmic tau neutrino flux and the prospects for its observations through double shower events [1]. In addition to AGNs, high energy cosmic tau n...
متن کاملExtremely High Energy Cosmic Neutrinos and Relic Neutrinos
I review the essentials of ultrahigh-energy neutrino interactions, show how neutral-current detection and flavor tagging can enhance the scientific potential of neutrino telescopes, and sketch new studies on neutrino encounters with dark matter relics and on gravitational lensing of neutrinos. 1. Neutrino Observatories: Expectations An early goal of the next generation of neutrino telescopes wi...
متن کاملHigh-energy Neutrinos from Cosmic Rays
We introduce neutrino astronomy from the observational fact that Nature accelerates protons and photons to energies in excess of 10 and 10 eV, respectively. Although the discovery of cosmic rays dates back close to a century, we do not know how and where they are accelerated. We review the facts as well as the speculations about the sources. Among these gamma ray bursts and active galaxies repr...
