摘要

冰内或水中切伦科夫中微子望远镜,如冰立方,已经证明了它在测量格拉肖共振方面的威力,它可以搜索 W 玻色子产生时产生的撞击。在未来的几十年里,有许多关于利用大范围空气淋浴观测宇宙头中微子的建议,这也被称为头中微子望远镜。原则上,空气淋浴望远镜可以通过空气中的陶衰变通道(如 TAMBO,其几何面积约为 )对格拉肖共振敏感。通过全面的数值分析,我们发现,考虑到冰立方测量的通量参数作为输入,如果PeV中微子主要来源于中子衰变,那么类似于TAMBO的装置的发现意义可达90%。影响中微子味道组成的新物理学的存在也会增加发现的意义。然而,如果超高能中微子主要是由介子衰变产生的,那么像 TAMBO 这样的先进方案就很难从统计上将介子衰变引起的格拉肖共振与固有背景区分开来。与冰内或水内望远镜相比,我们发现了这类先进望远镜在测量共振时的几个局限性:(i)衰变的分支比被抑制了 11%;(ii)由于子中微子带走了 W 衰变 75% 的能量,因此产生了抹黑效应并降低了接受度;(iii)共振对地球掠过中微子产生了很大的衰减效应。

Discovery potential of the Glashow resonance in an air shower neutrino telescope* * Project Supported by the ``CUG Scholar'' Scientific Research Funds at China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) (2024014)
The in-ice or in-water Cherenkov neutrino telescope, such as IceCube, has already proved its power in measuring the Glashow resonance by searching for the bump around arising from the W-boson production. There are many proposals for the next few decades for observations of cosmic tau neutrinos with extensive air showers, also known as tau neutrino telescopes. The air shower telescope is, in principle, sensitive to the Glashow resonance via the channel followed by the tau decay in the air (e.g., TAMBO, which has a geometric area of approximately ). Using a thorough numerical analysis, we find that the discovery significance can be up to 90% with a TAMBO-like setup if PeV neutrinos primarily originate from neutron decays, considering the flux parameters measured by IceCube as the input. The presence of new physics affecting the neutrino flavor composition can also increase the significance. However, if ultrahigh-energy neutrinos are dominantly produced from meson decays, it will be statistically difficult for an advanced proposal such as TAMBO to discriminate the Glashow resonance induced by from the intrinsic background. We have identified several limitations for such advanced telescopes, in comparison with the in-ice or in-water telescope, when measuring resonances: (i) a suppressed branching ratio of 11% for the decay ; (ii) the smearing effect and reduced acceptance because the daughter neutrino takes away 75% of the energy from the W decay; and (iii) a large attenuation effect for Earth-skimming neutrinos with the resonance.
