✦ Synopsis

We propose that young (t age t10 5 yr), rapidly rotating pulsars can accelerate ions to energies of $1 PeV near the surface of a neutron star. Protons undergo resonant excitation with surface X-rays and produce a beam of m neutrinos with energies of several tens of TeV which could be detectable by current technology. Detection of these neutrinos would further our understanding of high-energy processes that take place in the stellar magnetosphere.

Young, rapidly rotating neutron stars could accelerate protons to energies of ∼ 1 PeV close to the stellar surface, which scatter with x-rays from the stellar surface through the Δ resonance and produce pions. The pions subsequently decay to produce muon neutrinos. We find that the energy spectrum o

It is shown how high energy neutrino beams from very distant sources can be utilized to learn about some properties of neutrinos such as lifetimes, mass hierarchy, etc. Furthermore, even mixing elements such as U e3 and the CPV phase in the neutrino mixing matrix can be measured in principle.
