Feynman diagram of the Glashow resonance.

In particle physics, the Glashow resonance is the resonant formation of the W boson in antineutrino-electron collisions: Шаблон:SubatomicParticle + Шаблон:SubatomicParticleШаблон:SubatomicParticle.[1]

History

Файл:GlashowResonanceCrossSection.png
Cross sections between neutrinos and 16O for W-boson production, compared to those for charged-current (CC) and neutral current (NC) deep inelastic scattering (DIS), and the predicted Glashow resonance.[2]

The resonance was proposed by Sheldon Glashow in 1959.

Theory

The threshold antineutrino energy for this process (for the electron at rest in the laboratory frame) is given by the formula

<math>E_\nu = \frac{M_W^2 c^2-(m_e^2+m_\nu^2) c^2}{2m_e} \approx \frac{M_W^2 c^2}{2m_e}</math>

(here is, for completeness, included also the antineutrino mass, which vanishes in the Standard Model), which gives 6.3 PeV, a huge energy for a fundamental particle. This process is considered for the detection and studies of high-energy cosmic neutrinos at the IceCube experiment, at the ANTARES neutrino telescope, and at the KM3NeT neutrino telescope.

Detection

A report observing the resonance at 2.3σ level has been made by the IceCube experiment in March 2021.[3][4]
