Ultra-High Energy Neutrinos: A Review of Theoretical and Phenomenological Issues
Abstract
We review the phenomenology of ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrino detection. The motivations for looking for such neutrinos stemming from observational evidence and the potential for new physics discoveries are enumerated, and their expected sources and fluxes are given. Cross-sections with nucleons all the way upto neutrino energies of 1020 eV, and the attenuation of the fluxes in the earth are discussed. Finally, sample event-rates for existing and future Water/Ice Cerenkov detectors are provided.
