Abstract: (APS)
Within the framework of standard big-bang cosmology and the standard electroweak model, it is shown that νν¯ annihilation on the Z resonance is the only cosmic-ray process sensitive to relic neutrinos. For massive (mν≳10−3 eV) neutrinos originating from a z∼3 red-shifted source, a 15% to 50% absorption dip is predicted at Eν∼1011 GeV.- NEUTRINO ANTINEUTRINO: ANNIHILATION
