Bounds on Relic Neutrino Masses in the Z-burst Model
Graciela Gelmini, Gabriele Varieschi, Thomas Weiler
Neutrinos from far-away sources annihilating at the Z resonance on relic neutrinos may give origin to the extreme-energy cosmic rays (EECR). If ``Z-bursts'' are responsible for the…
Measuring the prompt atmospheric neutrino flux with down-going muons in neutrino telescopes
Graciela Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo, Gabriele Varieschi
In the TeV energy region and above, the uncertainty in the level of prompt atmospheric neutrinos would limit the search for diffuse astrophysical neutrinos. We suggest that neutrin…
Cosmic rays above the ankle from Z-bursts
Graciela Gelmini, Gabriele Varieschi
Neutrinos from far away sources annihilating at the Z resonance on relic neutrinos may give origin to the ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays. Here we present predictions of this mechanis…
Measurement of the gluon PDF at small x with neutrino telescopes
Graciela Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo, Gabriele Varieschi
We analyze the possibility that neutrino telescopes may provide an experimental determination of the slope lambda of the gluon distribution in the proton at momentum fractions x sm…
Prompt atmospheric neutrinos and muons: dependence on the gluon distribution function
Graciela Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo, Gabriele Varieschi
We compute the next-to-leading order QCD predictions for the vertical flux of atmospheric muons and neutrinos from decays of charmed particles, for different PDF's (MRS-R1, MRS-R2,…
Prompt atmospheric neutrinos and muons: NLO vs LO QCD predictions
Graciela Gelmini, Paolo Gondolo, Gabriele Varieschi
We compare the leading and next-to-leading order QCD predictions for the flux of atmospheric muons and neutrinos from decays of charmed particles. We find that the full NLO lepton…
