The Impact of Heavy Nuclei on the Cosmogenic Neutrino Flux
As ultra-high energy cosmic ray protons propagate through the universe, they undergo photo-meson interactions with the cosmic microwave background, generating the `cosmogenic' neutrino flux. If a substantial fraction of the cosmic ray primaries are heavy nuclei rather than protons, however, the...
