1 D. Seckel, Univ. of Delaware

2 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

15 Expectations ne nm nt
