Neutrino Fluxes and Resonance Physics with Neutrino Telescopes

Abstract

Expected atmospheric ${\bar \nu_e}$ fluxes will result in a significant number of resonantly produced low mass hadronic vector states, as the $\rho$, in large volume neutrino telescopes. The existence of sources of higher energy neutrinos will result in the production of higher mass states, as the $D_s^*$ and the $({\bar t}b)_{J=1}$. We calculate the rates of production of these states and discuss their signals. Independent of theoretical flux determinations, the detection of these states will be a tool for experimentally determining these fluxes.
