Fast-spinning newborn pulsars are intriguing candidate sources of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECRs). The acceleration of particles with a given composition in a fraction of the extragalactic pulsar population can give a consistent explanation for the measurements of the Auger Observatory. We calculate the associated diffuse neutrino flux produced while particles cross the supernova ejecta surrounding the stars. We show that in the minimal pulsar scenario that are compatible with the UHECR data, the effective optical depth to hadronuclear interactions is larger than unity at ultrahigh energies. Thus, even in the most pessimistic case, one expects energy fluxes of $\sim 0.1 - 1 \,\rm EeV$ neutrinos that should be detectable with IceCube or Askaryan Radio Array within a decade.

  1. Ultraheavy Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic Rays

    astro-ph.HE 2024-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Ultraheavy nuclei have longer energy loss lengths at ≲300 EeV than lighter nuclei, allowing them to explain UHECRs above 100 EeV from sources like collapsars and neutron star mergers while predicting distinct shower maxima.

  2. The Sensitivity of PUEO to Cosmogenic Neutrinos and Exotic Physics Scenarios

    astro-ph.HE 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    PUEO will constrain the proton fraction of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays under strong source evolution and set leading neutrino constraints on ultraheavy dark matter decays and some cosmic string models above 10^19 eV.

  3. Sensitivity of the As-Built Askaryan Radio Array to Ultra-High Energy Neutrinos

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    With 2013-2023 exposure, the as-built ARA achieves world-leading UHE neutrino sensitivity above ~10^19 eV and predicts up to 13 trigger-level events under optimistic flux models, with secondaries contributing up to 30...

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Non-detection of TDE in IC230724A; LSST could constrain TDE fraction of neutrino background to ≲60% or ≳30% with 10 events.

  5. Particle Astrophysics with High and Ultrahigh Energy Neutrinos

    astro-ph.HE 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Recent high and ultrahigh energy neutrino detections open a new observational window to the universe by revealing sources and processes inaccessible via photons.
