Predictions for ultra-high energy neutrino scattering cross sections

Theoretical insights into photoabsorption processes at high energies

Abstract

We give a brief representation of the theoretical results from the color dipole picture, covering the total photoabsorption cross section, high-energy $J/\psi$ photoproduction with respect to recent experimental data from the LHCb Collaboration at CERN, and ultra-high energy neutrino scattering, relevant for the ICE-CUBE experiment.
