1Detection of Ultra High Energy Neutrinos via Coherent Radio Emission
Since the 1960’s it has been predicted that cosmic ray protons of the highest energies must produce corresponding high energy neutrinos due to collisions with the cosmic microwave background. Both the origin and mechanism for production of these protons remain a mystery. Detection of the neutrinos,...
