Theoretical Aspects of High Energy Neutrinos and GRB

Abstract

Neutrinos at energies ranging from sub-TeV to EeV from astrophysical sources can yield interesting physical information about fundamental interactions, about cosmic rays and about the nature of the sources and their environment. Gamma-ray bursts are a leading candidate source, and their expected neutrino emission can address a number of current questions, which may be answered with forthcoming experiments such as IceCube, Auger, ANITA and KM3NeT.
