Abstract
Within the framework of standard big-bang cosmology and the standard electroweak model, it is shown that annihilation on the resonance is the only cosmic-ray process sensitive to relic neutrinos. For massive ( eV) neutrinos originating from a red-shifted source, a 15% to 50% absorption dip is predicted at GeV.
