Constraining photohadronic scenarios for the unified origin of IceCube neutrinos and ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays

Shigeru Yoshida, Kohta Murase

英文摘要:

The diffuse neutrino flux measured in IceCube is comparable with the ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) flux, which has led to the concept of a unified origin of high-energy neutrino and UHECR backgrounds. We construct a generic unification model of sources to explain UHECR data at $\gtrsim 10^{19}$ eV, and high-energy neutrinos with energies that exceed $\sim100$ TeV in the framework of photo-meson production processes, and provide general constraints on the source properties. A source environment with moderately efficient in-situ production of $\gtrsim 100$ TeV neutrinos with an optical depth of $0.1 \lesssim τ_{pγ}\lesssim 0.6$ must be realized to accelerate cosmic rays to ultrahigh energies. The measured fluxes of cosmic rays and neutrinos set a bound on the source luminosity and its rate density. Although the results are rather general and applicable to unknown source population, among the proposed source candidates, low-luminosity gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and tidal disruption events (TDEs) could satisfy the requirements if the Lorentz bulk factor of plasma outflow and the equipartition parameters for cosmic rays and magnetic field are appropriately selected.
