dc.descriptionThe whole spectrum of high-energy cosmic ray (HECR) is, very likely, influenced by tachyonic neutrinos. Especially, the appearance of two knees can be fitted by the tachyon mass $m(ν_e)=m(ν_μ)\simeq 0.51$ eV/$c^2$ as predicted by a minimal three - flavor model for tachyonic neutrino with one parameter $δ=0.38$ eV only. Then the evasion of GZK cutoff could be ascribed to $Z^0(W^\pm)$-burst model together with the same mechanism for knees as well as a prediction of left-right polarization dependent lifetime asymmetry. A further conclusive experiment might be whether the protons of HECR detected on Earth are really right handed polarized?
