Scientific paper

Highly relativistic jets are a key element of current gamma-ray burst (GRB) models, where the jet kinetic energy is converted to radiation energy at optically thin shocks. Mildly relativistic jets with smaller Lorentz factors are typically optically thick to gamma rays, and do not produce the spectacular GRB phenomenon. Jets which stall inside the progenitor similarly do not produce a GRB. However, various studies suggest that these jets are more common than GRB-producing jets. Here we report on our study of high-energy neutrino emission from these hidden jets. We describe the detection prospects with near-future neutrino detectors, and discuss how the presence of jets can be studied with neutrinos. The neutrino horizon for hidden jets is of order 10 Mpc, a volume which contains at least a few supernova per year.
