Ultrahigh Energy Cosmic Rays and Neutrinos
arXiv:0711.1872 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2008.01.043
Abstract
We discuss the relation between the highest energy cosmic rays (UHECR) and UHE neutrinos. The neutrinos produced in the sources of optically thin astrophysical sources have been linked to the UHECR emissivity of the Universe. The fluxes of cosmogenic neutrinos, generated in propagation by UHECR, also reflect the acceleration of these particles, the maximum acceleration energy, and the cosmological evolution of their sources.
