Localized Energy Deposition in Neutrino Telescopes: a Signature of "New Physics"

Abstract

A class of phenomena either not contained in the Standard Model or in its perturbative treatment (multiple W/Z production, compositeness of quarks and leptons) leads to a large energy deposition in neutrino telescopes within a rather small volume. The shape of the particle distribution arising from such phenomena is estimated.
