Constraints on the Cosmic Neutrino Background from NGC 1068
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We use recent evidence of TeV neutrino events from NGC 1068, detected by the
IceCube experiment, to constrain the overdensity of relic neutrinos locally and
globally. Since these high-energy neutrinos have travelled long distances
through a sea of relic neutrinos, they could have undergone scattering,
altering their observed flux on Earth. Considering only Standard Model
interactions, we constrain the relic overdensity to be η≤ 3.85 ×
10^8 (5.39 × 10^11) at the 95% confidence level for overdensities
with a radius of 14 Mpc (10 kpc), assuming the sum of neutrino masses saturates
the cosmological bound, ∑_i m_i = 0.13 eV. We demonstrate that this limit
improves with larger neutrino masses and how it depends on the scale of the
overdensity region.
