7 COSMOGENIC NEUTRINOS Volume 28B, number 6 PHYSICS LETTERS 6 January 1969 COSMIC RAYS AT ULTRA HIGH ENERGIES (NEUTRINO?) V. S. BERESINSKY and G. T. ZATSEPIN Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Physical Institute. Moscow Received 8 November 1968 The neutrino spectrum produced by protons on microwave photons is calculated. A spectrum of extensive air shower primaries can have no cut-off at an energy E> 3 x ev. If the neutrino-nucleon total cross-section rises up to the geometrical one of a nucleon. Greisen [1] and then Zatsepin and Kusmin [2] have predicted a rapid cutoff in the energy spectrum of cosmic ray protons near E~3xl0 19 ev because of pion production on 2.7 black body radiation. Detailed calculations of the spectrum were made by Hillas [3]. Recently there were observed [4] three extremely energetic extensive air showers with an energy of primary particles exceeding 5 x l0 19 ev. The flux of these particles turned out of be 10 times greater than according to Hillas' calculations. In the light of this it seems to be of some interest to consider the possibilities of absence of rapid (or any) fall in the energy spectrum of shower producing particles. A hypothetic possibility we shall discuss* consists of neutrinos being the shower producing particles at E > 3 x ev due to which the energy spectrum of shower producing particles cannot only have any fall but even some flattening. n EAS by n p-unmodified p

Ave et al APPROACH and RESULTS: Normalization by the observed UHECR flux Neutrino flux is SMALL in non-evolutionary models with E max ev Neutrino flux is LARGE in evolutionary models with E max ev

9 COSMOGENIC NEUTRINOS IN THE DIP MODEL FOR UHECR The dip is a feature in the spectrum of UHE protons propagating through CMB: p + γ CMB e + + e + p Calculated in the terms of modification factor η(e) the dip is seen in all observational data. η(e) = J p(e) J unm p (E), where Jp unm (E) includes only adiabatic energy losses and J p (E) - all energy losses.

16 UHE MIRROR NEUTRINOS 1. CONCEPT OF MIRROR MATTER Mirror matter is based on the theoretical concept of the space reflection, as first suggested by Lee and Yang (1956) and developed by Landau (1956), Salam (1957), Kobzarev, Okun, Pomeranchuk (1966) and Glashow (1986, 1987): see review by Okun hep-ph/ Extended Lorentz group includes reflection: x x. In particle space it corresponds to inversion operation I r. Reflection x x and time shift t t +Δt commute as coordinate transformations. In the particle space the corresponding operators must commute, too: [H,I r ]=0. Hence, I r must correspond to the conserved value. Lee and Yang: I r = P R, where R transfers particle to mirror particle: Landau: I r = C P I r Ψ L =Ψ R and I r Ψ R =Ψ L, where C transfers particle to antiparticle.

17 2. OSCILLATION OF MIRROR AND ORDINARY NEUTRINOS Kobzarev, Pomeranchuk, Okun suggested that ordinary and mirror sectors communicate only gravitationally. COMMUNICATION TERMS include EW SU(2) singlet interaction term: L comm = 1 M Pl ( ψφ)(ψ φ ) (1) where ψ L =(ν L,l L ) and φ =(φ 0, φ +). After SSB, Eq.(1) results in mixing of ordinary and mirror neutrinos. L mix = v2 EW νν, M Pl with μ vew/m 2 Pl = ev. It implies oscillations between ν and ν. Berezhiani, Mohapatra (1995) and Foot, Volkas (1995).

18 3. UHE NEUTRINOS FROM MIRROR TDs In two-inflatons scenario with curvature-driven phase transition (V.B. and Vilenkin 2000) there can be: ρ matter ρ matter, ρ TD ρ TD HE mirror ν s are produced by mirror TDs and oscillate into visible ν s. All other HE mirror particles which accompany neutrino production remain invisible. short-distance and long-distance oscillations (V.B, Narayan, Vissani 2003): P ν μ ν e = 1 8 sin2 2θ 12, P ν μ ν μ = P ν μ ν τ = sin2 2θ 12, Signature: diffuse flux exceeds cascade upper limit. α P ν μ ν α = 1 2.

24 CONCLUSIONS UHE neutrino astronomy has a balanced program of observations of well predicted fluxes of cosmogenic (accelerator) neutrinos, and more speculative fluxes predicted by the models beyond SM (e.g. topological defects and mirror matter). Energies of cosmogenic neutrinos are expected up to E ν ev. Acceleration to Ep max ev is a problem in astrophysics. Energies in TD and Mirror Matter models can be much higher. Fluxes of cosmogenic neutrinos are high and detectable in case of UHECR proton composition (confirmed by observations of dip and GZK cutoff) and in case of > ev and cosmological evolution of the sources. E max p The first space experiment JEM-EUSO is planning to start collecting data in 2012.
