Probing Lorentz Invariance Violation in Cosmogenic Neutrino Propagation with KM3-230213A

Abstract We investigate superluminal Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) in the neutrino sector using cosmogenic neutrino fluxes generated with ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray propagation models. Standard fluxes are calculated with CRPropa 3.2 and subsequently modified using a prescription based on LIV-induced neutrino splitting. Superluminal LIV suppresses the flux at the highest energies while producing an enhancement at PeV - EeV energies. We use the KM3-230213A event as a benchmark to evaluate the sensitivity of current observations to these spectral modifications. Although the available statistics do not allow a formal constraint, the predicted fluxes are particularly sensitive to coefficients in the range 10−24 eV−1 ≲ δν, 1 ≲ 10−22 eV−1, with the results strongly depending on the assumed cosmic-ray source properties. Intermediate coefficients can enhance the expected event rate within the reconstructed energy range of KM3-230213A, whereas larger coefficients may overproduce neutrinos in energy intervals constrained by IceCube and the Pierre Auger Observatory. These results identify a region of observational sensitivity to LIV and provide testable predictions for future neutrino telescopes.

Abstract

Abstract We investigate superluminal Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) in the neutrino sector using cosmogenic neutrino fluxes generated with ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray propagation models. Standard fluxes are calculated with CRPropa 3.2 and subsequently modified using a prescription based on LIV-induced neutrino splitting. Superluminal LIV suppresses the flux at the highest energies while producing an enhancement at PeV - EeV energies. We use the KM3-230213A event as a benchmark to evaluate the sensitivity of current observations to these spectral modifications. Although the available statistics do not allow a formal constraint, the predicted fluxes are particularly sensitive to coefficients in the range 10−24 eV−1 ≲ δν, 1 ≲ 10−22 eV−1, with the results strongly depending on the assumed cosmic-ray source properties. Intermediate coefficients can enhance the expected event rate within the reconstructed energy range of KM3-230213A, whereas larger coefficients may overproduce neutrinos in energy intervals constrained by IceCube and the Pierre Auger Observatory. These results identify a region of observational sensitivity to LIV and provide testable predictions for future neutrino telescopes.
