We present a new evaluation of the far-forward neutrino plus antineutrino flux and number of events from charm hadron decays in a 400 GeV proton beam dump experiment like the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP). Using next-to-leading order perturbative QCD and a model for intrinsic charm, we include intrinsic transverse momentum effects and other kinematic angular corrections. We compare this flux to a far-forward flux evaluated with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD, without intrinsic transverse momentum, that used the angular distribution of charm quarks rather than the neutrinos from their decays. The tau neutrino plus antineutrino number of events in the perturbative QCD evaluation is reduced by a factor of about three when intrinsic transverse momentum and the full decay kinematics are included. We show that intrinsic charm contributions can significantly enhance the number of events from neutrinos from charm hadron decays. Measurements of the number of events from tau neutrino plus antineutrino interactions and of the muon charge asymmetry as a function of energy can be used to constrain intrinsic charm models.

Summary: Electroweak scattering of neutrinos with hadronic targets provides insights into the underlying structure of protons and neutrons. Future experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN and DUNE will explore neutrino properties and structure functions at high and low energy regimes, respectively.

Summary: High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large number of particles beyond the acceptance of existing experiments. The proposed Forward Physics Facility (FPF) will host experiments to probe standard model processes and search for physics beyond the standard model (BSM). FPF experiments will explore BSM physics through searches for new particle scattering or decay signatures and deviations from SM expectations in a low-background environment.

Probing quantum gravity with elastic interactions of ultrahigh-energy neutrinos

A. Garcia-Soto, D. Garg, M. H. Reno, C. A. Arguelles

Summary: The next generation of radio telescopes will detect low-scale quantum gravity by measuring ultrahigh-energy neutrinos. The study shows that neutrino-nucleon soft interactions induced by TeV-scale gravity will significantly increase the number of events detected by the IceCube-Gen2 radio array in the EeV energy range. However, the total cross section cannot be measured solely using the angular and energy information of the neutrino flux without making assumptions about the underlying inelasticity distribution of neutral interactions.

Summary: This study quantifies the depolarization of tau particles in electromagnetic energy loss for the first time. It is found that the depolarization has only small effects on the final energy of tau neutrinos or taus produced by high energy tau neutrinos incident on the Earth.

Oscillations of sterile neutrinos from dark matter decay eliminates the IceCube-Fermi tension

Luis A. Anchordoqui, Vernon Barger, Danny Marfatia, Mary Hall Reno, Thomas J. Weiler

Summary: IceCube has observed a flux of cosmic neutrinos, with a bump in the energy range 10 less than or similar to E/TeV less than or similar to 100, creating tension with gamma-ray data from the Fermi satellite. This tension is interpreted as evidence for hidden cosmic-ray accelerators. The study proposes an alternative explanation based on cold dark matter and sterile neutrinos.
