We discuss the kinematic limits for the process u_mu rightarrow u_mu + e^+ + e^- in the assumption that neutrinos are superluminal. We derive our results by assuming that: i) it exists one reference frame in which energy and momentum are conserved; ii) the Hamilton-Jacobi equation v=dE/dp is valid; iii) the present experimental information on the neutrino velocity at different energies are correct. We show that the considered process cannot be avoided unless very peculiar neutrino dispersion laws are assumed.

The Glashow resonant scattering, $i.e$. ${overline{ u}^{}_{e} + e^{-} rightarrow W^{-} rightarrow text{anything}}$, offers us a possibility of disentangling $overline{ u}^{}_{e}$ from the total astrophysical neutrino fluxes. Meanwhile, a great number
of high-energy neutrino telescopes, with various detection mechanisms, are advancing towards a better understanding of one of the most energetic frontiers of the Universe. In this work, we investigate a connection between through-going muons at IceCube and the Glashow resonance signal through the channel $W^{-} rightarrow mu$. We find that for IceCube, muons from $overline{ u}^{}_{e}$ can induce a $sim20%$ excess of PeV events around the horizontal direction. However, the current statistic of IceCube is not enough to observe such an excess. We also address the novel possibility of $overline{ u}^{}_{e}$ detection via $W^{-} rightarrow tau$ at telescopes aiming to detect Earth-skimming and mountain-penetrating neutrinos. The subsequent hadronic decay of a tau will induce an extensive air shower which can be detected by telescopes with Cherenkov or fluorescence techniques. Similar to IceCube, it is challenging to observe the Glashow resonance excess from the Earth-skimming neutrinos. Nevertheless, we find it is promising to observe Glashow resonance events with a mountain as the target.
The long baseline between the Earth and the Sun makes solar neutrinos an excellent test beam for exploring possible neutrino decay. The signature of such decay would be an energy-dependent distortion of the traditional survival probability which can
be fit for using well-developed and high precision analysis methods. Here a model including neutrino decay is fit to all three phases of $^8$B solar neutrino data taken by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. This fit constrains the lifetime of neutrino mass state $ u_2$ to be ${>8.08times10^{-5}}$ s/eV at $90%$ confidence. An analysis combining this SNO result with those from other solar neutrino experiments results in a combined limit for the lifetime of mass state $ u_2$ of ${>1.04times10^{-3}}$ s/eV at $99%$ confidence.
During the last few years deep underwater neutrino telescopes of a new generation with dimensions close to 100 m or more were taken into operation. For the correct track reconstruction and for the interpretation of light pulses from calibration laser
s one has to use the group velocity for light signals. The difference between group velocity leads to an additional delay of about 10 ns for a distance of 100 m between light source and photjmultiplier. From the time of the appearance of the first projects of deep underwater neutrino telescopes in the middle of 70th this fact was never mentioned in the literature.
Discovering neutrino decay would be strong evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Presently, there are only lax lower limits on the lifetime $tau$ of neutrinos, of $tau/m sim 10^{-3}$ s eV$^{-1}$ or worse, where $m$ is the unknown neutrino ma
ss. High-energy cosmic neutrinos, with TeV-PeV energies, offer superior sensitivity to decay due to their cosmological-scale baselines. To tap into it, we employ a promising method, recently proposed, that uses the Glashow resonance $bar{ u}_e + e to W$, triggered by $bar{ u}_e$ of 6.3 PeV, to test decay with only a handful of detected events. If most of the $ u_1$ and $ u_2$ decay into $ u_3$ en route to Earth, no Glashow resonance would occur in neutrino telescopes, because the remaining $ u_3$ have only a tiny electron-flavor content. We turn this around and use the recent first detection of a Glashow resonance candidate in IceCube to place new lower limits on the lifetimes of $ u_1$ and $ u_2$. For $ u_2$, our limit is the current best. For $ u_1$, our limit is close to the current best and, with the imminent detection of a second Glashow resonance, will vastly surpass it.
Exact expression is obtained for the differential cross section of elastic electroweak scattering of longitudinal polarized massive Dirac neutrinos with the electric charge and anomalous magnetic moment on a spinless nucleus. This formula contains al
l necessary information about the nature of the neutrino mass, charge and magnetic moment. Some of them state that between the mass of the neutrino its electric charge there exists an interconnection.
