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

“…However, any cosmic population of such transients (assumed to be extragalactic) must be isotropic, ongoing, and include sources exhibiting a broad range of fluxes here at Earth, due both to source distance effects and any associated luminosity function. No such cosmic population of high-luminosity, high-frequency ( 2 month −1 , all-sky) neutrino transients can be compatible with the limits on neutrino point sources [24], for E ν 200 TeV [24] and E ν 1 PeV [22] neutrinos, and rates of neutrino multiplet events [25] set by IceCube. A way around these constraints is to have a high-multiplicity extreme-energy neutrino interaction, such that the energy of the τ-lepton is one to two orders of magnitude smaller than the neutrino energy.…”

We perform a combined likelihood analysis for the IceCube 6-year high-energy starting events (HESE) above 60 TeV and 8-year throughgoing muon events above 10 TeV using a two-component neutrino flux model. The two-component flux can be motivated either from purely astrophysical sources or due to a beyond Standard Model contribution, such as decaying heavy dark matter. As for the astrophysical neutrinos, we consider two different source flavor compositions corresponding to the standard pion decay and muon-damped pion decay sources. We find that the latter is slightly preferred over the former as the high-energy component, while the low-energy component does not show any such preference. We also take into account the multi-messenger gamma-ray constraints and find that our two-component fit is compatible with these constraints, whereas the single-component power-law bestfit to the HESE data is ruled out. The astrophysical plus dark matter interpretation of the twocomponent flux is found to be mildly preferred by the current data and the gamma-ray constraints over the purely astrophysical explanation.
