Observations of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) do not uniquely determine both the injection spectrum and the evolution model for UHECR sources - primarily because interactions during propagation obscure the early Universe from direct observation. Detection of neutrinos produced in those same interactions, coupled with UHECR results, would provide a full description of UHECR source properties.

Ultrahigh-energy cosmogenic neutrino emissions in the high-redshift universe
High-redshift AGN emitting UHE protons up to 10^19 eV generate a 50 PeV cosmogenic neutrino bump consistent with IceCube data from their JWST-measured average properties without fine-tuning.
