Constraints on the models of the origin of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos

The existence of astrophysical neutrinos with energies of tens of TeV and higher has been reliably established by the IceCube experiment; the first confirmations of this discovery are being obtained with the ANTARES and Baikal-GVD facilities. The observational results do not fully agree with what was expected before the start of these experiments. The origin of these neutrinos has not been conclusively established, and simple theoretical models, popular for decades, cannot explain all observational data. This review summarizes the experimental results with emphasis on those important for constraining theoretical models, discusses various scenarios for the origin of high-energy neutrinos and briefly lists particualr classes of their potential astrophysical sources. It is demonstrated that the observational data may be explained if the flux of astrophysical neutrinos includes the contribution of extragalactic sources, dominating at the highest energies, and the Galactic component, significant only at neutrino energies 100 TeV. Other possible scenarios are also discussed.CONTENTS * Invited review published in Physics Uspekhi in a special issue dedicated to the 50th anniversary of INR RAS, Russian

“…[2]. We focus on the data recently released by the IceCube collaboration [3], using three different data samples: the IC79 data sample after one year of observation, the IC86 data sample in 2011, henceforth denoted as IC86-11, and the IC86 data collected from 2012 to 2018, henceforth denoted as IC86-12/18. All three data samples consist of track events, which allow a rather precise angular reconstruction: indeed in this work we are interested in an angular study of the neutrinos.…”

IceCube constraints on Violation of Equivalence Principle

Among the information provided by high energy neutrinos, a promising possibility is to analyze the effects of a Violation of Equivalence Principle (VEP) on neutrino oscillations. We analyze the IceCube data on atmospheric neutrino fluxes under the assumption of a VEP and obtain updated constraints on the parameter space with the benchmark choice that neutrinos with different masses couple with different strengths to the gravitational field. In this case we find that the VEP parameters times the local gravitational potential at Earth can be constrained at the level of 10 −27 . We show that the constraints from atmospheric neutrinos strongly depend on the assumption that the neutrino eigenstates interacting diagonally with the gravitational field coincide with the mass eigenstates, which is not a priori justified: this is particularly clear in the case that the basis of diagonal gravitational interaction coincide with the flavor basis, which cannot be constrained by the observation of atmospheric neutrinos. Finally, we quantitatively study the effect of a VEP on the flavor composition of the astrophysical neutrinos, stressing again the interplay with the basis in which the VEP is diagonal: we find that for some choices of such basis the flavor ratio measured by IceCube can significantly change.

Present and future constraints on flavor-dependent long-range interactions of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos

The discovery of new, flavor-dependent neutrino interactions would provide compelling evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. We focus on interactions generated by the anomaly-free, gauged, abelian lepton-number symmetries, specifically Le – Lμ, Le – Lτ , and Lμ – Lτ , that introduce a new matter potential sourced by electrons and neutrons, potentially impacting neutrino flavor oscillations. We revisit, revamp, and improve the constraints on these interactions that can be placed via the flavor composition of the diffuse flux of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, with TeV–PeV energies, i.e., the proportion of νe, νμ, and ντ in the flux. Because we consider mediators of these new interactions to be ultra-light, lighter than 10−10 eV, the interaction range is ultra-long, from km to Gpc, allowing vast numbers of electrons and neutrons in celestial bodies and the cosmological matter distribution to contribute to this new potential. We leverage the present-day and future sensitivity of high-energy neutrino telescopes and of oscillation experiments to estimate the constraints that could be placed on the coupling strength of these interactions. We find that, already today, the IceCube neutrino telescope demonstrates potential to constrain flavor-dependent long-range interactions significantly better than existing constraints, motivating further analysis. We also estimate the improvement in the sensitivity due to the next-generation neutrino telescopes such as IceCube-Gen2, Baikal-GVD, KM3NeT, P-ONE, and TAMBO.
