Unusual Events in Neutrino Telescopes: Signatures of New Physics

Abstract

A class of physical phenomena outside the framework of the perturbatively treated Standard Model of electroweak and strong interactions gives rise to characteristic signatures in neutrino telescopes. In essence, the signature is a large energy deposition in the neighborhood of the telescope, giving rise to large and concentrated Cherenkov light emission, and in some cases, to energetic muon bundles.
