Suppression of boosted relic neutrinos by photon backgrounds during ultra-high-energy cosmic ray propagation

The episode discusses a paper showing that realistic photon backgrounds significantly suppress boosted relic neutrino signals during ultra-high-energy cosmic ray propagation. Hosts discuss how this suppression means detection targets need to be higher, emphasizing the need for detailed, multi-physics simulations to model cosmic ray transport accurately and refine future search strategies.
