Young pulsars apparently have a distribution of initial power outputs N (> Po−γ), with 1/2 < γ < 1 and Po ≳ 1038 ergs/sec. Assuming that ultra-high-energy (E ≳ 1015 eV) cosmic-ray nuclei are accelerated at the central pulsar, a young, dense supernova shell can be a powerful source of high-energy neutrinos. With an optical array placed in a volume of one km3 at great ocean depths, as proposed for the DUMAND detector, it is likely that ≳ 103 hadronic and electromagnetic cascades induced by neutrinos would be recorded for a stellar collapse within our Galaxy. Such supernovae occur about 8 times per century. Neutrinos from young supernova shells in the Virgo supercluster would be marginally detectable via neutrinos with N(> Po) ∝ Po−1/2, but unobservable if N(> Po) ∝ Po−1.

High energy muons and neutrinos are produced by the interaction of primary cosmic rays in the Earth's upper atmosphere. These primary interactions produce mesons that decay into muons and neutrinos. SNO is in a unique position amongst underground experiments in the world. At the depth of over 6 km water equivalent, it is the deepest underground laboratory currently in operation. SNO can make a number of novel measurements using muons. First, SNO is sensitive to the downward muon rate coming from primary cosmic ray interactions. Second, SNO's great depth makes possible the detection of atmospheric neutrinos (via the detection of neutrino induced muons) from the nadir to inclinations as large as cos (θ zenith ) ≃ 0.4 above the horizon. Although SNO is a modest-size Cherenkov detector, SNO's unique niche allows it to make important model-independent checks of atmospheric neutrino oscillations.

Neutrino Fluxes

Ongoing experimental efforts to detect cosmic sources of high energy neutrinos are guided by the expectation that astrophysical accelerators of cosmic ray protons also generate high energy neutrinos through their interactions with ambient matter and/or photons. However the predicted neutrino flux is reduced if cosmic ray sources accelerate not only protons but also a significant number of heavier nuclei, as is indicated by recent air shower data. I consider two plausible extragalactic class of sources, active galactic nuclei and gamma-ray bursts, and demand consistency with the observed cosmic ray composition and energy spectrum at Earth after allowing for propagation through intergalactic radiation fields. This allows me to calculate the degree of photo-disintegration and pion production expected to occur in these sources, and hence the neutrino fluxes from them.

Temporal Behaviour

Cosmic Ray and neutrino oscillation physics can be studied by using atmospheric neutrinos. JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) is a large liquid scintillator detector with low energy detection threshold and excellent energy resolution. The detector performances allow the atmospheric neutrino oscillation measurements. In this work, a discrimination algorithm for different reaction channels of neutrino-nucleon interactions in the JUNO liquid scintillator, in the GeV/sub-GeV energy region, is presented. The atmospheric neutrino flux is taken as reference, considering $\mathop {{v_\mu }}\limits^{( - )} $ and $\mathop {{v_e}}\limits^{( - )} $. The different temporal behaviour of the classes of events have been exploited to build a timeprofile-based discrimination algorithm. The results show a good selection power for $\mathop {{v_e}}\limits^{( - )} $ CC events, while the $\mathop {{v_\mu }}\limits^{( - )} $ CC component suffers of an important contamination from NC events at low energy, which is under study. Preliminary results are presented.
