Grand unified neutrino spectrum at Earth: Sources and spectral components
Edoardo Vitagliano, Irene Tamborra, Georg G. Raffelt
Abstract
The measured neutrino spectrum is essential in this epoch of multimessenger astronomy. To explore astrophysics and particle physics it is necessary to understand and quantify the known contributions to the grand unified neutrino spectrum. Only through a study of the expected neutrino backgrounds can we hope to detect new phenomena. This review summarizes the composition of the spectrum arising from the cosmic background, the remnants of nucleosynthesis, solar and terrestrial production, supernovae and cosmological phenomena, and even nuclear power plants.
