摘要:

中微子是一种非常有前途的信使,能量在几十EeV以上。它们可以通过几个渠道产生,即作为强子相互作用的副产品在源,作为超大质量粒子衰变的主要产品,并在一定程度上,作为UHECR通过微波遗迹光子浴传播的结果。JEM-EUSO任务是一个主要例子,一个非常大曝光空间观测站的新时代即将到来,有了它,在最高能量下进行天体物理中微子探测的可能性就更大了。在目前的工作中,我们使用的PYTHIA相互作用代码与CONEX淋浴模拟包的组合,以产生快速的一维模拟中微子在空气中引发的淋浴。我们详细研究了相应的纵向剖面的结构,但我们的物理分析主要集中在中高海拔地区阵雨的发展上,在那里它们可以成为空间荧光观测站的一个有趣的目标。

英文摘要:

Neutrinos are a very promising messenger at tens of EeV and above. They can be produced by several channels, namely as by products of hadronic interactions at the sources, as the main products of the decay of super massive particles and, in a guaranteed way, as the result of the propagation of UHECR through the bath of microwave relic photons. A new era of very large exposure space observatories, of which the JEM-EUSO mission is a prime example, is on the horizon and, with it, it is even larger the possibility of astrophysical neutrino detection at the highest energies. In the present work we use a combination of the PYTHIA interaction code with the CONEX shower simulation package in order to produce fast one-dimensional simulations of neutrino initiated showers in air. We make a detail study of the structure of the corresponding longitudinal profiles, but focus our physical analysis mainly on the development of showers at mid and high altitudes, where they can be an interesting target for space fluorescence observatories.
