The Glashow resonance at IceCube: signatures, event rates and pp vs. pγ interactions

Journal Article Bhattacharya, Atri ; Gandhi, Raj ; Rodejohann, Werner ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We revisit the signatures of the Glashow resonance process ν-bar {sub e}e → W in the high-energy astrophysical neutrino observatory IceCube. We note that in addition to the standard hadronic and electromagnetic showers produced by an incoming neutrino at the resonance energy of E{sub ν} ≈ 6.3 PeV, there are two clear signals of the process: the 'pure muon' from ν-bar {sub e}e → ν-bar {sub μ}μ and the 'contained lollipop' from ν-bar {sub e}e → ν-bar {sub τ}τ. The event rate and the signal-to-background ratio (the ratio of the resonant to concurrent non-resonant processes) are calculated for each typemore »« less

Multi-PeV Signals from a New Astrophysical Neutrino Flux beyond the Glashow Resonance

Journal Article Kistler, Matthew D. ; Laha, Ranjan - Physical Review Letters

The IceCube neutrino discovery was punctuated by three showers with E_ν ≈ 1–2 PeV. Interest is intense in possible fluxes at higher energies, though a deficit of E_ν ≈ 6 PeV Glashow resonance events implies a spectrum that is soft and/or cutoff below ~ few PeV. However, IceCube recently reported a through-going track depositing 2.6 ± 0.3 PeV. A muon depositing so much energy can imply E_νμ ≳ 10 PeV. Alternatively, we find a tau can deposit this much energy, requiring E_ντ ~ 10× higher. Here, we show that extending soft spectral fits from TeV-PeV data is unlikely to yieldmore »« less

Detection of a particle shower at the Glashow resonance with IceCube

Journal Article Aartsen, M. G. ; Abbasi, R. ; Ackermann, M. ; ... - Nature (London)

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 electron. Whereas this energy scale is out of reach for currently operating and future planned particle accelerators, natural astrophysical phenomena are expected to produce antineutrinos with energies beyond the PeV scale. Here we report the detection by the IceCube neutrino observatory of a cascade of high-energy particles (a particle shower) consistent with being created at the Glashow resonance. A shower with an energy ofmore »« less

The direct detection of boosted dark matter at high energies and PeV events at IceCube

Journal Article Bhattacharya, A. ; Gandhi, R. ; Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, P.O. Box 500, Batavia, IL 60510 ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We study the possibility of detecting dark matter directly via a small but energetic component that is allowed within present-day constraints. Drawing closely upon the fact that neutral current neutrino nucleon interactions are indistinguishable from DM-nucleon interactions at low energies, we extend this feature to high energies for a small, non-thermal but highly energetic population of DM particle χ, created via the decay of a significantly more massive and long-lived non-thermal relic ϕ, which forms the bulk of DM. If χ interacts with nucleons, its cross-section, like the neutrino-nucleus coherent cross-section, can rise sharply with energy leading to deep inelasticmore »« less
