 "Probing strong dynamics with cosmic neutrinos"
Carlos García Canal

Triggered by the IceCube detection of astrophysical neutrino candidates in the range of PeV energies,
we propose to investigate the sensitivity of future South Pole neutrino-detection experiments to the
neutrino-nucleon cross section. By using the combination of up- and down-going data of neutrinos,
sensible to neutral current processes one can disentangle particle physics from astrophysics and constrain
the neutrino interactions.In particular, we show that IceCube-Gen2 will be able to determine the
neutrino-nucleon cross section with a precisión comparable to the perturbative QCD informed by collider
data and eventually to detect new physics.
