Meeting the Challenges for Relic Neutrino Detection

Inspired by Gounaris-Sakurai and Lee-Zumino, we postulate that the weak vector and axial vector currents are dominated by $J^{PC} = 1^{--}$ and $1^{++}$ resonances respectively in the appropriate channels of $ν+ \bar ν$ annihilation into quark-antiquark pairs when an ultrahigh-energy incoming $ν\ (\bar ν)$ strikes a relic $\bar ν\ (ν)$. Despite this and some other ideas, it appears the detection of relic neutrinos with just the Standard Model interactions seems extremely difficult at existing or future neutrino telescopes. Thus any positive signal would be due to some non-standard interactions of neutrinos.
