Topics GZK neutrinos and UHECR spectrum (with TS)
Model degeneracy of UHECR Simple scaling GZK-n calculations Thoughts on HE interactions (Many) Old Picture New considerations (Scales, LPM, dE/dX) Scaling dE/dX Photonuclear Pair Production LPM issues Line radiation e,m,t at PeV, EeV, ZeV
3
Degeneracy of UHECR models
Flat spectrum, evolution, galactic contribution Steep spectrum, no evolution, no galaxy
4
Simple scaling of GZK Spectrum: (Ep)-(1+g) Evolution (1+z)m
Matter dominated cosmology (1+z)-5/2 Spacing Dz = 0.5
5
Neutrinos break degeneracy
a) Flat spectrum, evolution, galactic contribution b) Steep spectrum, no evolution, no galaxy c) Cutoffs, Lambda…
6
Radio Event Topology: Old Picture I
5% in 3 km salt
7
Radio Event Topology: Old Picture II
8
New Considerations (dE/dX)
9
Scaling of dE/dX
10
Photonuclear review I Comments From DRSS 10-6 = 3km salt s?
y-distribution important
11
Photonuclear review II
b ~ L/(L+mlep) <y> ~ L/(L+mlep) Growth with g due to growth in photon cross-section (QCD) with E
12
Pair Production From LKV b ~ 1/mlep <y> ~ me/mlep ?
Quasi-continuous
13
Is reduction in seN-eNg sgN-Nee the whole story ? sgN (see S. Klein)
LPM issues Is reduction in seN-eNg sgN-Nee the whole story ? sgN (see S. Klein) Convert energy to hadronic shower seN-eNX ,(1019 eV?), seN-eNee (1020 eV (lpm?))
14
Line radiation (just like SLAC salt stack !?)
Showers vs radiation from a moving “charge” Coherence region along track Lumpy? L d
