Astrophysical Neutrino Event Rates and Sensitivity for Neutrino Telescopes
Spectacular processes in astrophysical sites produce high-energy cosmic rays, which are further accelerated by Fermi shocks into a power-law spectrum. These, in passing through radiation fields and matter, produce neutrinos. Neutrino telescopes are designed with large detection volumes to observe such astrophysical sources. A large volume is necessary because the …
