The flavor composition of high-energy neutrinos carries important information about their birth. However, the two most common production scenarios, $pp$ (hadronuclear) and $p\gamma$ (photohadronic) processes, lead to the same flavor ratios…
We infer the ultrahigh energy neutrino source by using the Glashow resonance candidate event recently identified by the IceCube Observatory. For the calculation of the cross section for the Glashow resonance, we incorporate both the atomic…
The Glashow resonance describes the resonant formation of a $W^-$ boson during the interaction of a high-energy electron antineutrino with an electron, peaking at an antineutrino energy of 6.3 petaelectronvolts (PeV) in the rest frame of…
The Glashow resonance at E_\nu=6.3 PeV is a measure of the \bar\nu_e content of the astrophysical neutrino flux. The fractional \bar\nu_e content depends on the neutrino production model at the cosmic neutrino source, and the environment at…
Discovering neutrino decay would be strong evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Presently, there are only lax lower limits on the lifetime $\tau$ of neutrinos, of $\tau/m \sim 10^{-3}$ s eV$^{-1}$ or worse, where $m$ is the…
A leading candidate for the extragalactic source of high energy cosmic rays is the Fermi engine mechanism, in which protons confined by magnetic fields are accelerated to very high energy through repeated scattering by plasma shock fronts.…
The Glashow resonance is a rapid enhancement of the cross section for scattering of electron antineutrinos on electrons at the $W^-$ boson production threshold due to the $s$-channel contribution. This resonance is being searched for at…
We revisit the signatures of the Glashow resonance process $\bar{\nu}_e e \to W$ in the high-energy astrophysical neutrino observatory IceCube. We note that in addition to the standard hadronic and electromagnetic showers produced by an…
Electron anti-neutrinos at the Glashow resonance (GR, at $E_{\bar \nu_e} \sim 6.3$ PeV) have an enhanced probability to be detected. With three neutrinos detected by IceCube in the (1-2) PeV energy range at present, one would expect that…
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 $E^{}_{\rm \nu} = 6.3~{\rm PeV}$ arising from the $W$-boson production. In…
High energy neutrinos can be produced by interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) in the dense radiation fields of their sources as well as off the cosmic backgrounds when they propagate through the universe. Multi-messenger…
Reactions ${\nu_l}\gamma\rightarrow W^+l^-\,(l=e,\mu,\tau)$ near the threshold $\sqrt{s}=m_W+m_l$ are analyzed. Two independent calculations of the corresponding cross sections (straightforward calculations using the Standard Electroweak…
We re-examine the interesting possibility of utilizing the Glashow resonance (GR) channel nu_ebar + e^- to W^- to anything to discriminate between the UHE cosmic neutrinos originating from p-gamma and pp collisions in an optically thin…
The $s$-channel process $\bar\nu_ee^-\rightarrow W^-$ (on-shell) is now referred to as the Glashow resonance and being searched for at kilometer-scale neutrino ice/water detectors like IceCube, Baikal-GVD or KM3NeT. After over a decade of…
We propose an interpretation of the two neutrino initiated cascade events with PeV energies observed by IceCube: Ultra-high energy cosmic ray protons (or Fe nuclei) scatter on CMB photons through the Delta-resonance (the Berezinsky-Zatsepin…
High-energy astrophysical neutrino fluxes are, for many applications, modeled as simple power laws as a function of energy. While this is reasonable in the case of neutrino production in hadronuclear $pp$ sources, it typically does not…
The Glashow resonant scattering, $i.e$. ${\overline{\nu}^{}_{e} + e^{-} \rightarrow W^{-} \rightarrow \text{anything}}$, offers us a possibility of disentangling $\overline{\nu}^{}_{e}$ from the total astrophysical neutrino fluxes.…
Today it is widely believed that $s$-channel excitation of an on-shell~$W$ boson, commonly known as the Glashow resonance, can be initiated in matter only by the electron antineutrino in the process $\bar\nu_ee^-\rightarrow W^-$ at the…
The flux of astrophysical neutrinos is now measured with unprecedented accuracy and over several decades of energy spectrum. Their origin traces back to hadronic collisions between protons and nuclei in the cosmic rays with hydrogen and…
IceCube have observed neutrinos which are presumably of extra-galactic origin. Since specific sources have not yet been identified, we discuss what could be learned from the conceptual point of view. We use a simple model for neutrino…
