Effects of Majorana physics on the UHE ντ flux traversing the Earth
Resumen:
We study the effects produced by sterile Majo-rana neutrinos on theντflux traversing the Earth, consider-ing the interaction between the Majorana neutrinos and thestandard matter as modeled by an effective theory. The sur-viving tau-neutrino flux is calculated using transport equa-tions including Majorana neutrino production and decay. Wecompare our results with the pure Standard Model interac-tions, computing the surviving flux for different values of theeffective lagrangian couplings, considering the detected fluxby IceCube for an operation time of 10 years, and Majorananeutrinos with mass mN∼mτ.
