Ultrahigh-Energy Neutrino Interactions
Abstract
Cross sections for the interactions of ultrahigh-energy neutrinos with nucleons are evaluated in light of new information about nucleon structure functions. For 1020--eV neutrinos, the cross section is about 2.4 times previous estimates. We also review the cross sections for neutrino interactions with atomic electrons. Some consequences for interaction rates in the Earth and for event rates from generic astrophysical sources in large-scale detectors are noted.
