Determining the fraction of cosmic-ray protons at ultrahigh energies with cosmogenic neutrinos

Cosmogenic neutrinos are produced when ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) interact with cosmological photon fields. Limits on the diffuse flux of these neutrinos can be used to constrain the fraction of protons arriving at Earth with energies $E_{p} \gtrsim 30$ EeV, thereby providing constraints...
