Abstract:

The scattering of the cosmological relic neutrinos by high energy protons is studied in detail both for massive and massless neutrinos. If the energy of a neutrino in a proton rest frame is small enough, the scattering is elastic, but it becomes inelastic for higher energies. Assuming the power law type energy spectrum for the proton, we finally calculate the high energy neutrino generation rate.
