High Energy Neutrino Astronomy - the cosmic-ray connection
arXiv:astro-ph/0011525 · doi:10.1063/1.1378634
Abstract
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 neutrino signal that may be expected.
