Nonstandard neutrino properties and the high-energy cosmic neutrino flux

چکیده

Recently, it has been shown that cosmic neutrino flux at the GRB/AGN source, F 0 νe : F 0 νμ : F 0 ντ ≃ 1 : 2 : 0 , inevitably oscillates (in the three neutrino framework) to 1 : 1: 1, irrespective of the mixing angle relevant to the solar data. It has also been pointed out that the intrinsic flux of the cosmic highenergy neutrinos may not have the standard ratio, in which case the cosmic neutrino flux in the far distance should be dependent of the mixing angle. For neutrinos with nonzero electromagnetic properties, we show in the latter case that matter effects on oscillations of high-energy cosmic neutrinos can substantially modify the vacuum oscillation probability, if the mass-squared difference is ∼ 10 −10 eV.

Effects of neutrino mixing on high-energy cosmic neutrino flux

Several cosmologically distant astrophysical sources may produce high-energy cosmic neutrinos (E ≥ 10 GeV) of all flavors above the atmospheric neutrino background. We study the effects of vacuum neutrino mixing in three flavor framework on this cosmic neutrino flux. We also consider the effects of possible mixing between the three active neutrinos and the (fourth) sterile neutrino with or with...

Neutrino oscillations in high energy cosmic neutrino flux

I discuss the effects of neutrino oscillations on high energy cosmic neutrinos which come from cosmologically distant astrophysical sources. I incorporate all the up-to-date constraints from the solar, atmospheric, reactor, accelerator data and give the possible pattern for the ratio of the high energy cosmic neutrinos in the cases of three and four neutrino schemes.

On the detection prospects of the neutrino flux from Centaurus A and the associated diffuse neutrino flux

Recently Cuoco and Hannestad have presented estimates for the neutrino flux of Centaurus A under the assumption that two out of the 27 highest energy cosmic-ray events observed by the Pierre Auger collaboration can be attributed to this galaxy. In this work we elaborate on this assumption and estimate the diffuse neutrino flux assuming that all cosmic-ray sources are similar to Centaurus A. Wit...

Ultra high energy neutrino-nucleon cross section from cosmic ray experiments and neutrino telescopes

We deduce the cosmogenic neutrino flux by jointly analysing ultra high energy cosmic ray data from HiRes-I and II, AGASA and the Pierre Auger Observatory. We make two determinations of the neutrino flux by using a model-dependent method and a model-independent method. The former is well-known, and involves the use of a power-law injection spectrum. The latter is a regularized unfolding procedur...

Measurement of Atmospheric Neutrinos at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory consists of a 1 kiloton heavy water Cherenkov detector able to detect and reconstruct high-energy muons created from cosmic ray showers and atmospheric neutrino interactions. By measuring the flux of through-going muons as a function of zenith angle, the SNO experiment can distinguish between the oscillated and un-oscillated portion of the neutrino flux. This re...
