We calculate the flux of neutrinos generated by the propagation of ultra-high energy iron over cosmological distances and show that even if ultra-high energy cosmic rays are composed of heavy nuclei, a significant flux of high-energy neutrinos should be present throughout the universe. The resulting neutrino flux has a new peak at $\sim 10^{14} eV$ generated by neutron decay and reproduces the double peak structure due to photopion production at higher energies ($\sim 10^{18}$ eV). Depending on the maximum energy and cosmological evolution of extremely high energy cosmic accelerators the generated neutrino flux can be detected by future experiments.

  1. Ultra-High-Energy Tau Neutrinos as Probes of Lorentz Invariance

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Ultra-high-energy tau neutrino detections at GRAND and POEMMA are projected to constrain Lorentz invariance violation parameters orders of magnitude more stringently than current lower-energy probes.
