Description

The IceCube collaboration pioneered the detection of $\mathcal{O}{(\text{PeV})}$ neutrino events and the identification of astrophysical sources of high-energy neutrinos. Furthermore, astrophysical environment with large magnetic field is a prerequisite for the acceleration of charged particles which source high-energy neutrinos. While propagating through such magnetic field environment, neutrinos experience spin precession induced by their magnetic moments, and this impacts their helicity and flavor composition at Earth. In this talk, I will discuss the influence of neutrino magnetic moment on both flavor composition of high-energy neutrinos and Glashow resonance events at neutrino telescopes, such as IceCube, by considering scenarios in which high-energy neutrinos are produced in the vicinity of astrophysical objects with strong magnetic field, such as magnetars.
