Neutrino Flavor Goniometry by High Energy Astrophysical Beams
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown how high energy neutrino beams from very distant sources can be utilized to learn about many properties of neutrinos such as lifetimes, mass hierarchy, mixing, minuscule pseudo-Dirac mass splittings and other exotic properties; in addition, the production mechanism of neutrinos in astrophysical sources can also be elucidated.

High Energy Astrophysical Tau Neutrinos: The Expectations
A search for high energy astrophysical tau neutrinos will not only yield quite useful information about some of the highest energy phenomenons occurring in the present universe related to the origin of observed high energy gamma rays and ultra high energy cosmic rays but also can possibly probe physics beyond standard model of particle physics. The representative extra terrestrial sources of hi...
متن کاملConstraining the Flavor Structure of Lorentz Violation Hamiltonian with the Measurement of Astrophysical Neutrino Flavor Compositions
We study Lorentz violation effects to flavor transitions of high energy astrophysical neutrinos. It is shown that the appearance of Lorentz violating Hamiltonian can drastically change the flavor transition probabilities of astrophysical neutrinos. Predictions of Lorentz violation effects to flavor compositions of astrophysical neutrinos arriving on Earth are compared with IceCube flavor compos...
متن کاملSome Neutrino Astrophysics, Looking Forward
Theoretical and experimental constructions together make a compelling case that the discovery of high-energy (>∼ 10 15 eV) astrophysical neutrinos is imminent. In this talk, we investigate some of the reasons for excitement. We focus on the larger cosmic neutrino flux expected due to the recently-argued lower-energy cosmic-ray crossover from galactic to extragalactic origin; and on various aspe...
متن کاملNeutrino Decays and Neutrino Telescopes
It is shown how deviations of neutrino flavor mix from the canonical 1 : 1 : 1 in high energy astrophysical neutrinos can provide evidence for neutrino decays with lifetimes as long as 10s/eV .
متن کاملSearch for neutrino-induced cascades with 5 years of the AMANDA-II data
The Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) is a Cherenkov detector deployed in the Antarctic ice cap at the South Pole. We present the analysis of the AMANDA data collected during 1001 effective days of the detector lifetime between the years 2000 and 2004. We focus our search on electromagnetic and hadronic cascades which are produced in charged-current interactions of high-energy...
