This book introduces the reader to how fundamental topics in
particle physics can be studied with the largest neutrino
telescopes currently in operation. Due to their large size,
reaching cubic-kilometer volumes, and their wide energy response,
these unusual detectors can provide insight on neutrino
oscillations, dark matter searches or searches for exotic
particles, new neutrino interactions or extra dimensions, among
many other topics.Lacking a man-made neutrino 'beam', neutrino
telescopes use the copious flux of neutrinos continuously produced
by cosmic rays interacting in the Earth's atmosphere, as well as
neutrinos from astrophysical origin. They have therefore access to
neutrinos of higher energies and much longer baselines than those
produced in present accelerators, being able to search for new
physics at complementary scales than currently available in
particle physics laboratories around the world.Written by carefully
chosen experts in the field, the book introduces each topic in a
pedagogical way apt not only to professionals, but also to students
or the interested reader with a background in physics.
