New Physics with IceCube
arXiv:hep-ph/0703076 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.76.033003
Abstract
IceCube, a cubic kilometer neutrino telescope will be capable of probing neutrino-nucleon interactions in the ultrahigh energy regime, far beyond the energies reached by colliders. In this article we introduce a new observable that combines several advantages: it only makes use of the upward-going neutrino flux, so that the Earth filters the atmospheric muons, and it is only weakly dependent on the initial astrophysical flux uncertainties.
