Implications of spacetime quantization for the Bahcall–Waxman neutrino bound
Open accessAbstract
There is growing interest in quantum-spacetime models in which small departures from Lorentz symmetry are governed by the Planck scale. In particular, several studies have considered the possibility that these small violations of Lorentz symmetry may affect various astrophysical observations, such as the evaluation of the GZK limit for cosmic rays, the interaction of TeV photons with the far infrared background and the arrival time of photons with different energies from cosmological sources. We show that the same Planck-scale departures from Lorentz symmetry that led to a modification of the GZK limit also have significant implications for the evaluation of the Bahcall–Waxman bound on the flux of high-energy neutrinos produced by photo–meson interactions.

Lorentz violation can raise or lower the Bahcall-Waxman bound on the expected flux of ultra-high energy neutrinos significantly.
“It has been shown [18] that Lorentz violation can in fact raise (or lower) this bound significantly.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
