Description

In this proceeding, we study the production of cosmogenic neutrinos from the propagation of ultra-high energy cosmic-ray (UHECR) nuclei. After discussing the main production channels for cosmic-ray nuclei, we investigate the dependence of the expected fluxes on astrophysical parameter such as the composition, the cosmological distribution of the sources, or the maximum energy of the accelerated cosmic-rays. We finally discuss the detectability of these cosmogenic neutrinos between 1012 and 1020 eV.
