What would be the effects of a neutrino beam capable of killing people (besides killing people)?
Would it pass through matter as if it wasn't there? Or would it scatter and irradiate everything?
Assume the beam is a beam, and not a sphere or something not beam-like.
And yes, I'm aware 99.9999999999% of all neutrinos never will touch anything. I'm assuming the beam has enough of them that the ones who do touch stuff are enough to do the job.

A lethal neutrino laser would be a literal god tier weapon. There would be no counter to it. You could have a bunker of solid lead that is lightyears thick, and the neutrino beam would still penetrate it. You could just aim through the earth to the other side as if the earth wasn't even there.
The only way to do it is literally a supernova explosion.
Think of the electric bill though.
I realize that.
My question is, can I snipe with it, or would it sterilize the best part of the solar system the moment it touches atmosphere?
I feel like any type of process that creates a lethal amount of neutrinos would have already destroyed the entire dolar system before the neutrinos cause any type of damage
Supernovas produce a high enough density of neutrinos to kill you from over 1AU away, how dop eis that
I'm assuming the neutrino ray appears on vacuum, I just want to know how would it behave.
The weaponised neutrino ray would interact with particles on the way to the target atleast as much as they interact with the target, my best guess is that the intense beam would lead to very exotic interactions with heavier particles which would atleast lead to massive amounts of cherenkov radiation, so if nothing else everything is blasted with UV light
It amuses me to think that by the time the UV reaches the surface, the target will be already dead.
Not really. Remember, if you're neutrino beam has enough neutrinos to interact with a human enough to kill them, it has more than enough to interact with (and be deflected/absorbed by) lead. If it can go through the Earth easily with no effects, then it will do the same to people.

Not realy, neutrinos only interact with weak force, this makes them unsuitable to damage something, and even if they can, you would needed a extremely huge power source, since as a weapon, neutrinos are extremely inneficient.
I'm saying "if you had a device that could produce a lethal beam of neutrinos" - skipping over all that about inefficiency and powr and whatnot

Would be interesting to know what effects would produce gthe interaction with weak force, since a laser interaction should be trough em forces....how would be dying with your weak force getting fucked up?
>neutrino beam capable of killing people
Everything within a several million miles would turn to plasma from the power source
Assume then a very collimated ray, shot at ten thousand lightyears from the target ten thousand years ago.
