Motivations for ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos (>1018 eV)
1. Expect UHE neutrinos from GZK (Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin) process: Cosmic rays >1019.5 eV slowed by cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons within ~50 Mpc:
p+ �CMB ! �⇤ ! n+ ⇤+
n ! p+ e� + ⇥̄e
⇤+ ! µ+⇥µ
µ+ ! e+⇥̄µ⇥e
2. Expect UHE neutrinos from UHECR sources: should produce UHE neutrinos through γ-hadronic interactions
ν’s from GZK process first

RMoliere ≈ 10 cm, L ~ meters → Radio!
• Coherent Cerenkov signal from net “current,” instead of from individual tracks
• A ~20% charge asymmetry develops (mainly Compton scattering)
• Excess moving with v > c/n in matter → Cherenkov Radiation dP ∝ ν dν
• If λ >> RMoliere → Coherent Emission P ~ N2 ~ E2
λ > RMoliere → Radio/Microwave Emission
This effect has been confirmed experimentally in sand, salt, ice:PRL 86, 2802 (2002)

Why are νN cross sections interesting?• Center of mass (COM) of UHE neutrino interactions with
nuclei well exceed LHC energies - √s=√2MNEν, Eν=1018 eV →√s=45 TeV!
• Predictions of SM νN cross section (σ) at high energies rely on measurements of quark, anti-quark number densities at low x (parton momentum fraction) inaccessible with accelerators- Eν > 1017 eV → x ≲ 10-5
- HERA measures x ≳ 10-4 - 10-5
• νN σ’s at all energies needed to model experiments13

•Once an UHE ν sample is measured:• The distribution of ν
zenith angles θz would be sensitive to νN cross sections• For Eν = 1018 eV,
ECM = 45 TeV!

• xmin = 3, MD = 2, ND = 7 excluded with 110 events
• Black bands: systematic uncertainty on SM cross sections
• Gray bands: statistical uncertainties
• On average, with 100 events, expect to exclude:
• xmin = 1, MD = 1, ND ≥ 2 xmin = 3, MD = 1, ND ≥ 3 xmin = 1, MD = 2, ND ≥ 3
Most of these already excluded by the LHC. BUT unique opportunity to probe the theory w/ UHE neutrinos 16

Lorentz Invariance Violation, Really?• Neutrinos are the only particles we can see from cosmic
distances at the highest energies observed- It is natural that we should use them to test LIV
• LIV falls naturally from many GUT models, L. Maccione, A. M. Taylor, D. M. Mattingly, & S. Liberati, JCAP 0904:022, (2009), P. Horava, Phys. Rev. D79, 084008 (2009); Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 161301 (2009).
• It has been proposed that the photon could be a Goldstone boson arising from LIV, R. Bluhm and V.A. Kostelecký, Spontaneous Lorentz Violation, Nambu-Goldstone Modes, and Gravity, Phys. Rev. D 71, 065008 (2005), Bjorken (1963)
• It has been proposed that the graviton could be a Goldstone boson arising from LIV, V.A. Kostelecký and R. Potting, Gravity from Spontaneous Lorentz Violation, Phys. Rev. D 79, 065018 (2009)
• It is possible that both the photon and graviton are both simultaneously Goldstone bosons from LIV 18

Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV)
• If neutrinos can exceed speed of light then can “brem”- ν→νʹ e+ e- (Coleman and Glashow)- Neutrino loses ~3/4 of its energy
• Effectively a “decay” with time constant:
with τCG=6.5 × 10-11 s-αν is a measure of level of LIV Eν=pνc(1+ αν)
• Over cosmic distances, neutrinos above an energy will all brem, show up at lower energies

Summary
• Although radio Cerenkov experiments built as single purpose detectors for UHE neutrinos, variety of fundamental physics results: - LIV- did not have time to discuss magnetic monopoles,
quark nuggets• once UHE neutrinos are observed, will be unique
laboratories for - particle physics at super-LHC energies (cross sections) - unique view of UHE universe at cosmic distances
