D.Fargion@roma1.infn.itAstronomia con i neutrini3 Why Neutrino may see where and what gamma and UHECR are no allowed to accelerated protons interact: => the energy fluences in -rays and neutrinos are comparable due to isospin symmetry. For neutrinos the observable spectrum is practically identical to the production spectrum, whereas -rays pile up below the pair production threshold on the CMB at a few 10 14 eV. The Universe acts as a calorimeter for the total injected electromagnetic energy above the pair threshold. This constrains gamma but only part of the neutrino fluxes.

D.Fargion@roma1.infn.itAstronomia con i neutrini4 High Energy Neutrino Astronomy are a Must just behind the corner Solar,Supernovae Neutrino Astronomy are probed. Cosmic rays flux as rich as BBR, being charged, are bent and smeared, blinding most CR astronomy. UHECR are direct, but BBR cut them, GZK cut, locally. UHECR themselves must produce GZK- EeV neutrinos. AGN, GRBs, Star Burst Galaxy must also produce PeV neutrinos. UHE neutrinos must emerge above atmospheric neutrino noises: muons tracks and tau showers by their decay in flight (double bang) are their best trace.

7
D.Fargion@roma1.infn.itAstronomia con i neutrini7 Why Horizontal – Upward Tau air- showers are easier to be revealed than muon tracks ? Because an air- shower is amplified By its huge secondary number. Millions muons, billions gamma and e-pairs, trillions or more Cerenkov photons. Muon is single, alone and shine little.
8
D.Fargion@roma1.infn.itAstronomia con i neutrini8 Why Horizontal – Upward Tau Showering is so much linked to neutrino mass and mixing ? Because mixing, even for minimal masses guarantee the flavour transformation from Muon Neutrinos to the Tau Neutrinos. Galactic and cosmic distances are huge respect oscillation lenghts. 8.3 pc
