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 …
