The ANITA balloon experiment has observed two EeV-level, upgoing cascade events, which cannot be explained by the Standard Model neutrino interactions that make the Earth opaque to EeV neutrinos. In this paper, we analyze a long-lived bino interpretation in leptonic R-parity violating supersymmetry. In particular, a TeV-scale bino can be resonantly produced through the interaction of the EeV...

The extremely small but non-zero neutrino masses has no explanation in the Standard Model. We propose a new mechanism for neutrino mass generation, unrelated to the Higgs mechanism, in which neutrinos get their mass via long range interactions with dark matter. Our model predicts a location dependent neutrino mass and also implies that relic neutrinos are not present in galaxies due to having...

We develop a general formalism to treat reflection of spherical electromagnetic waves from a spherical surface. Our main objective is interpret radio wave signals produced by cosmic ray interactions with Earth’s atmosphere which are observed by the Antarctica based ANITA detector after reflection off the ice surface. The incident wave is decomposed into plane waves and each plane wave is...
