1 10 18 eV Neutrinos associated with UHECR (>10 19 eV) sources Zhuo Li ( 黎卓 ) Peking University, Beijing Collaborators: Eli Waxman & Liming Song Li & Waxman, arXiv:0711.4969

2 Why EeV neutrino To directly identify CR sources Neutrino –Pointing to the source –Avoiding absorption 10 18 eV –Primary >10 19 eV

3 HE Neutrinos from CR accelerators  -production in accelerators: –acc. p’s; acc. e’s : synchrotron/IC photons If all p energy converted to  (in the source) Waxman-Bahcall Bound for sources optically thin to p: Waxman & Bahcall 1999

5 GRB HE n ’ s: p g interaction p + → m + + n m (~10 -8 s) m + → e + + n e + n m (~10 -6 s) D-resonance: e g ~1 MeV  e n ~10 14 eV. _ e g e p =0.2GeV 2 G 2 e =0.05 e p

10 Q3: HE  ’s escape from source? Attenuated by e+- production in source –low energy break –KN suppression of cross section Strong synchrotron absorption below keV Conclusion: >10PeV photons don’t suffer attenuation [Li & Waxman 2007b] [Li & Waxman 2007a] [Li & Song 2004] dn/d e  ~1keV ~1MeV
