On non hadronic origin of high energy neutrinos

Abstract

Some of the non hadronic interactions, such as the \eta resonance formation in the \gamma \gamma interactions and the muon pair production in the e\gamma interactions, are identified as possible source interactions for generating high energy neutrinos in the cosmos.Comment: 9 pages, 1 figure, talk given at First NCTS Workshop on Astroparticle Physics, 6-9 December, 2001, Kenting, Taiwan (to appear in its proceedings edited by H.
