Abstract

The ultrahigh energy (UHE) neutrino-nucleon interaction cross-sections are evaluated analytically in one loop by using the solutions of Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) equations. Since the genesis of the UHE neutrinos is various sources which have energy more than 105 GeV, so parton distributions are extrapolated at ultralow x to determine the charged current and the neutral current cross-sections. We then compare our analytically obtained extrapolated results with the next-to-leading order (NLO) results of various other authors. A good agreement between the two reflects the veracity of our approach of extrapolation at ultralow x.

Highlights

  • With the help of analytical solutions of the nonsinglet and the singlet DGLAP equation [1], we will determine analytically the ultrahigh energy (UHE) neutrino-nucleon interaction cross-sections both for the charged and the neutral current in the leading order (LO)

  • In our analytical process of determining UHE neutrinonucleon cross-section, we adopt the process of extrapolating parton densities at ultralow Bjorken x (x < 10−5), which will allow us to obtain reasonable cross-section in the region of x which has not been explored by any existing terrestrial Deep inelastic scattering (DIS)

  • By using MRST 2004 f4 LO input parton distributions at Q2 = μL2O = 1 GeV2 [14, 15], we estimate the values of extrapolated cross-sections for ]N interactions for the charged and the neutral current from (16)

Summary

Introduction

With the help of analytical solutions of the nonsinglet and the singlet DGLAP equation [1], we will determine analytically the UHE neutrino-nucleon interaction cross-sections both for the charged and the neutral current in the leading order (LO). We will compare our predictions with the results of several other authors [2,3,4] and study the range of validity of our approach.
