Description
The work assessed the detectability of γ-ray cascades associated with neutrino production in source environments that are γ-ray transparent. By calculating the electromagnetic cascades developed by interactions with the EBL, we determine the minimum flux required to produce a γ-ray signal counterpart detectable by γ-ray observatories. We use this calculation to determine the maximum source distance where both neutrinos and γ-rays are jointly observable. From there, we also discuss the implications for source opacity and neutrino production mechanisms.
