Flux of Atmospheric Neutrinos
T. K. Gaisser, M. Honda
Atmospheric neutrinos produced by cosmic-ray interactions in the atmosphere are of interest for several reasons. As a beam for studies of neutrino oscillations they cover a range o…
Vacuum Energy: "If Not Now, Then When?"
Sidney A. Bludman
For a flat universe presently dominated by static or dynamic vacuum energy, cosmological constant (LCDM) or quintessence (QCDM), we calculate the asymptotic collapsed mass fraction…
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis in Crisis?
N. Hata, R. J. Scherrer, G. Steigman +4
A new evaluation of the constraint on the number of light neutrino species (N_nu) from big bang nucleosynthesis suggests a discrepancy between the predicted light element abundance…
Astrophysical Solutions are Incompatible with the Solar Neutrino Data
S. Bludman, N. Hata, P. Langacker
We consider the most general solar model, using the neutrino fluxes as free parameters constrained only by the solar luminosity, and show that the combined solar neutrino data excl…
The First Gauge Theory of Weak Interactions and the Prediction of Weak Neutral Currents
S. A. Bludman
The three theoretical and historical components of the Standard Model are the exact chiral gauge theory of weak interactions, electroweak unification, and the Higgs mechanism for s…
Cosmological and Astrophysical Bounds on Neutrino Masses and Lifetimes
Sidney A. Bludman
The best upper bounds on the masses of stable and unstable light neutrinos derive from the upper bound on the total mass density, as inferred from the lower limit Gyr on…
