NF04: Neutrinos from natural sources

Co-Conveners: Yusuke Koshio (Okayama U.), Gabriel D. Orebi Gann (UC Berkeley/LBNL), Erin O'Sullivan (Uppsala), Irene Tamborra (NBIA)

Description

This topical group covers neutrino detection from all natural sources, including the Sun, the Earth, and astrophysical sources. Specific topics include:

Early Universe

  • Cosmic neutrino background: prospects for detection
  • Neutrino flavor composition and impact on the nucleosythesis
  • Absolute neutrino mass: prospects for measuring it

Geoneutrinos

  • Flux and spectral measurements
  • Separation of U/Th contributions, flux & mantle contributions 
  • Geographical spread

Solar

  • CNO: solar metallicity, solar model
  • 8B spectral shape: sensitivity to NSI, matter effects, day/night
  • Precision low-energy measurements (pp, pep): luminosity

Supernova

  • Prospects for DSNB measurement
  • Galactic supernova: flavor composition, pointing, supernova mechanism, BSM physics
  • Pre-supernova neutrinos

Atmospheric

  • Identifying prompt component
  • Neutrino flavor conversion physics

Extragalactic

  • The origin of high energy neutrinos and the birthplace of cosmic rays
  • The physics of cosmic accelerators: neutrino flavour, energy spectrum, and BSM
  • Cosmogenic neutrinos: GZK neutrinos and cosmic ray composition
  • Cross sections at high energies
