Glashow resonance
In particle physics, the Glashow resonance is the resonant formation of the W boson in antineutrino-electron collisions: + →.
History
The resonance was proposed by Sheldon Glashow in 1959.Theory
The threshold antineutrino energy for this process is given by the formula, 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.
