Diffuse Ultra-High Energy Neutrino Fluxes and Physics Beyond the Standard Model
read the original abstract
We study spectral distortions of diffuse ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrino flavour fluxes resulting due to physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Even large spectral differences between flavours at the source are massaged into a common shape at earth by SM oscillations, thus, any significant observed spectral differences are an indicator of new physics present in the oscillation probability during propagation. Neutrino decay and Lorentz symmetry violation (LV) are examples, and result in significant distortion of the fluxes and the well-known bounds on them, which may allow UHE detectors to probe lifetimes, the mass hierarchy and LV parameters over a broad range.

Visible inelasticity as a probe of tau flavor content of astrophysical neutrinos
Visible inelasticity in starting tracks can statistically separate tau and muon neutrino events, yielding competitive sensitivity to the tau-to-muon flux ratio with current IceCube exposures.

Are neutrinos Majorana? Fixed-target and high-energy astrophysical searches decide
Correlated HNL discovery at SHiP and flavor ratio shifts in astrophysical neutrinos at telescopes would establish neutrinos as Majorana fermions.

Astrophysical bounds on the high-energy evolution of neutrino mixing
High-energy astrophysical neutrinos can constrain the running of neutrino mixing parameters with energy, with future multi-detector setups forecast to set strong bounds despite astrophysical uncertainties.
