Lower Energy Consequences of an Anomalous High–Energy Neutrino Cross–Section

A new strong–interaction has been postulated for neutrinos above ∼ 10 19 eV to explain the production of highest–energy cosmic ray events. We derive a dispersion relation relating the hypothesized high–energy cross–section to the lower–energy neutrino–nucleon elastic amplitude. Remarkably, we find t...
