It is suggested that a large deep underocean neutrino detector, given the presence of significant numbers of neutrinos in the PeV range as predicted by various models of Active Galactic Nuclei, can make unique measurements of the properties of neutrinos. It will be possible to observe the existence of the nu_tau, measure its mixing with other flavors, in fact test the mixing pattern for all three flavors based upon the mixing parameters suggested by the atmospheric and solar neutrino data, and measure the nu_tau cross section. The key signature is the charged current nu_tau interaction, which produces a double cascade, one at either end of a minimum ionizing track. At a few PeV these cascades would be separated by roughly 100 m, and thus be easily resolvable in DUMAND and similar detectors. Future applications are precise neutrino astronomy and earth tomography.

  1. Rare processes in ultrahigh-energy tau-lepton transport

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    Tau leptons at EeV energies produce muon pairs and neutral pions via rare processes, with energy-loss rates only ~0.6% and ~0.2% of electron pair production, yet muon pairs may yield detectable double-track signatures.

  2. Visible inelasticity as a probe of tau flavor content of astrophysical neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Visible inelasticity in starting tracks can statistically separate tau and muon neutrino events, yielding competitive sensitivity to the tau-to-muon flux ratio with current IceCube exposures.

  3. Probing Neutrino Flavor Composition with the Glashow Resonance at Tau Air-Shower Neutrino Telescopes

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Tau air-shower telescopes can potentially measure the PeV \bar{\nu}_e/(\nu_\tau+\bar{\nu}_\tau) ratio via the Glashow resonance, but standalone sensitivity only clearly separates \bar{\nu}_e-rich sources from standard...

  4. MiniFool -- Physics-Constraint-Aware Minimizer-Based Adversarial Attacks in Deep Neural Networks

    cs.LG 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    MiniFool generates uncertainty-aware adversarial perturbations and uses the attack strength needed to flip a classification as a measure of how robust the network's decision is.

  5. Single-source-class interpretation of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux

    astro-ph.HE 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux is interpreted as dominated by a single source class with dominant pγ production for target photon temperatures of 0.1-1 keV.
