The Z-burst mechanism invoked to explain ultra-high energy cosmic rays is severely constrained by measurements of the cosmic gamma-ray background by EGRET. We discuss the case of optically thick sources and show that jets and hot spots of active galaxies cannot provide the optical depth required to suppress the photon flux. Other extragalactic accelerators (AGN cores and sites of gamma ray bursts), if they are optically thick, could be tested by future measurements of the secondary neutrino flux.
Neutrinos offer a window to physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular, high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, with TeV-PeV energies, may provide evidence of new, secret neutrino-neutrino interactions that are stronger than ordinary weak interact
Ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos and cosmic rays initiate particle cascades underneath the Moons surface. These cascades have a negative charge excess and radiate Cherenkov radio emission in a process known as the Askaryan effect. The optimal freque
The standard perception is that the detection of high energy (TeV energies and above) neutrinos from an astrophysical object is a conclusive evidence for the presence of hadronic cosmic rays at the source. In the present work we demonstrate that TeV
We study the production of cosmogenic neutrinos and photons during the extragalactic propagation of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). For a wide range of models in cosmological evolution of source luminosity, composition and maximum energy we c
We present a strong hint of a connection between high energy $gamma$-ray emitting blazars, very high energy neutrinos, and ultra high energy cosmic rays. We first identify potential hadronic sources by filtering $gamma$-ray emitters %from existing ca
