Cosmogenic Neutrinos from Ultra-High Energy Nuclei

We calculate the flux of neutrinos generated by the propagation of ultra-high energy iron over cosmological distances and show that even if ultra-high energy cosmic rays are composed of heavy nuclei, a significant flux of high-energy neutrinos should be present throughout the universe. The resulting neutrino flux has a new peak at $\sim {10}^{14}eV$ generated by neutron decay and reproduces the double peak structure due to photopion production at higher energies ($\sim {10}^{18}$ eV). Depending on the maximum energy and cosmological evolution of extremely high energy cosmic accelerators the generated neutrino flux can be detected by future experiments.
