New Physics With Ultra-High Energy Neutrinos, Yicong Sui

Arts & Sciences Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Ultra-high energy (UHE) astrophysical neutrinos are unique in the sense that they are the

only known particles that could travel through incredibly long distance unattenuated, with

TeV to EeV energy, much higher than the most powerful man-made collider could provide.

The detection of these UHE neutrinos has ushered a new era in neutrino astrophysics, as they

carry important information directly from the inside of energetic astrophysical objects. On the

other hand, from the particle physics point of view, the UHE neutrinos also offer a new window

of opportunity for studying beyond the Standard Model (BSM) phenomena. This is the main …
