Strongly interacting neutrinos as the highest energy cosmic rays
Z. Fodor, S. D. Katz, A. Ringwald +1
We show that all features of the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray spectrum from 10^{17} eV to 10^{21} eV can be described with a simple power-like injection spectrum of protons under th…
Z-Burst Scenario for the Highest Energy Cosmic Rays
Z. Fodor, S. D. Katz, A. Ringwald
The origin of highest energy cosmic rays is yet unknown. An appealing possibility is the so-called Z-burst scenario, in which a large fraction of these cosmic rays are decay produc…
Finite temperature and chemical potential in lattice QCD and its critical point
Z. Fodor, S. D. Katz
We propose a method to study lattice QCD at finite temperature (T) and chemical potential (μ). We compare the method with direct results and with the Glasgow method by using n_f=4…
Lattice QCD at finite T and μand the critical point of QCD
Z. Fodor, S. D. Katz
We propose a method to study lattice QCD at finite T and μ. We compare it with direct results and with the Glasgow method by using n_f=4 QCD at Im(μ)\neq 0. We locate the critical…
Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays as a Grand Unification signal
Z. Fodor, S. D. Katz
We analyze the spectrum of the ultrahigh energy (above \approx 10^{9} GeV) cosmic rays. With a maximum likelihood analysis we show that the observed spectrum is consistent with the…
Propagation of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays and compact sources
Z. Fodor, S. D. Katz
The clustering of ultrahigh energy (>10^{20} eV) cosmic rays (UHECR) suggests that they might be emitted by compact sources. Statistical analysis (Dubovsky et al., 2000) estimated…
