论文摘要
宇宙射线轰炸了农历表面产生的介体,后者在雷果石内部衰减。它们变慢,微弱地腐烂到离开表面的Sub-Gev中微子。因此,月亮在中微子中闪耀。在这里,我们计算了低能中微子的光谱,该光谱在朝向月球方向的各向同性中微子背景上表现出明亮的特征。他们的观察结果是对未来中微子大量实验的一项非常具有挑战性的任务,它将使月亮成为最接近的天体物理学来源,多中间机天文学的概念真正起作用。值得注意的是,月球中微子通量的某些特征对月球的表面质量密度敏感。
Cosmic rays bombard the lunar surface producing mesons, which attenuate inside the regolith. They get slower and decay weakly into mostly sub-GeV neutrinos leaving the surface. Thus the Moon shines in neutrinos. Here we calculate spectra of low energy neutrinos, which exhibit bright features potentially recognisable above isotropic neutrino background in the direction towards the Moon. Their observation, though a very challenging task for future neutrino large volume experiments, would make the Moon the nearest astrophysical source for which the concept of multimessenger astronomy works truly. Remarkably, some features of the lunar neutrino flux are sensitive to the surface mass density of the Moon.
