0 High Energy Neutrino Astronomy – the cosmic - ray connection 1
Several of the models for origin of the highest energy cosmic rays also predict significant neutrino fluxes. A common factor of the models is that they must provide sufficient power to supply the observed energy in the extragalactic component of the cosmic radiation. The assumption that a comparable amount of energy goes into high-energy neutrinos allows a model-independent estimate of the neut...
متن کاملHigh-Energy Neutrino Astronomy
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 accelerates...
متن کاملHigh energy neutrino astronomy
Neutrinos are very promising probes for high energy astrophysics. Indeed, many indications suggest that cosmic objects where acceleration of charged particles takes place, e.g. GRBs and AGNs, are the sources of the detected UHECRs. Accelerated hadrons, interacting with ambient gas or radiation, can produce HE neutrinos. Contrarywise to charged particles and TeV gamma rays, neutrinos can reach t...
متن کاملUltra High Energy Neutrino Astronomy
With Baikal and AMANDA detectors UHE neutrino astronomy entered its first stage, which will reach the decisive level with 1 km detector. Simultaneously, the first steps are made in building the detectors searching for superGZK neutrinos, i.e. those with energies above the GZK cutoff, EGZK ∼ 5 × 10 19 eV. Radio-telescopes, such as RICE, GLUE and FORTE are already searching for radio signal from ...
متن کاملHigh Energy Neutrino Astronomy: The Experimental Road
The next ten years promise to be a particularly exciting decade for high energy neutrino astrophysics. The frontier of TeV and PeV energies is presently being tackled by large, expandable arrays constructed in open water or ice. Detectors tailored to record acoustic, radio, fluorescence or air shower signatures from neutrino interactions at PeV – EeV energy are being designed in parallel. Durin...
