Neutrinos are a very promising messenger at tens of EeV and above. They can be produced by several channels, namely as by products of hadronic interactions at the sources, as the main products of the decay of super massive particles and, in…
As neutrino long baseline experiments enter a new domain of precision, important systematic errors due to poor knowledge of production cross-sections for pions and kaons require more dedicated measurements for precise neutrino flux…
