Abstract
Population III Stars (PopIII) are the first generation of stars formed from the collapse of the very first structures in the Universe. Their peculiar chemical composition (metal-free, resembling the Primordial Nucleosynthesis yields) affects their formation and evolution and makes them unusually big and hot stars. They are good candidates for the engines of Reionization of the Universe although their direct observation is extremely difficult. Here we summarize a study of their expected diffuse low-energy neutrino background flux at Earth. © 2011.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
