abstract

Over the past ten years, several breakthroughs have been made in multi-messenger astronomy. Thanks to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, the detection of astrophysical neutrinos was proved to be practical. However, due to the limited statistics and field of view, only a few sources have been associated with IceCube neutrinos, making new and larger neutrino telescopes necessary. We propose the NEutrino Observatory in the Nanhai (NEON), located in the South China Sea to be complementary for the global neutrino detectors. This proposal describes the design and layout of the array and reports on comprehensive simulations conducted to assess its performance. The NEON project, with a volume of 10 km$^3$, achieves an angular resolution of 0.1$^\circ$ at 100 TeV. With 10 years of operation, the project's 5$\sigma$ sensitivity is estimated as $E^2\Phi \sim 2 \times 10^{-10}$ GeV cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ for a source spectrum index of -2. We found that the variation in depth from 1700 to 3500 meters does not significantly influence the sensitivity to steady sources.

  1. Rare processes in ultrahigh-energy tau-lepton transport

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Tau leptons at EeV energies produce muon pairs and neutral pions via rare processes, with energy-loss rates only ~0.6% and ~0.2% of electron pair production, yet muon pairs may yield detectable double-track signatures.

  2. Transforming Antarctic Ice into a Cherenkov Neutrino Detector

    astro-ph.HE 2024-11 unverdicted

    IceCube built a cubic-kilometer Cherenkov detector in Antarctic ice and discovered a diffuse flux of cosmic neutrinos, identified the first neutrino sources, and observed the Galactic plane in neutrinos.
