2 Cosmogenic neutrinos cos-mo-gen-ic (adj.): produced by cosmic rays but this is true for all high-energy neutrinos... more specifically: not in the source or atmosphere, but during CR propagation most plausibly via pion production in pγ interactions, e.g. p + γ bgr n + π + π + µ + ν µ & µ + e + ν µν e & n pe ν e pγ / pp (e.g. Centaurus A) propagation Markus Ahlers (UW-Madison) High-Energy Cosmogenic Neutrinos June 9 11, 2014 slide 2

27 Summary Cosmogenic neutrinos guarantee a diffuse flux of UHE neutrinos. Present neutrino limits start to constrain optimistic (proton-dominated) model. A cosmogenic origin of the IceCube excess at TeV-PeV energies is very unlikely. Model uncertainties of predictions are large (UHE CR source composition and evolution). Future EeV neutrino observatories (ARA or ARIANNA) will be able to probe proton-dominated CR models. Markus Ahlers (UW-Madison) High-Energy Cosmogenic Neutrinos June 9 11, 2014 slide 27
