Abstract:
We show that neutrino telescopes, optimized for detecting neutrinos of TeV to PeV energy, can reveal threshold effects associated with TeV-scale gravity. The signature is an increase with energy of the cross section beyond what is predicted by the standard model. The advantage of the method is that the neutrino cross section is measured in an energy region where (i) the models are characteristically distinguishable and (ii) the standard model neutrino cross section can be reliably calculated so that any deviation can be conclusively identified.

The minimum speed required to launch a projectile from the surface of an object to which it is gravitationally bound so that it eventually escapes the object’s gravitational field is called the escape velocity. The escape velocity is independent of the mass of the object. Merging the idea of escape velocity with the...
