Abstract
The interaction of ultra-high-energy (UHE) cosmic rays with baryonic m atter in the Milky Way produces hadrons which ultimately decay into ne utrinos. This constitutes a back-ground for neutrino telescopes attemp ting to discover UHE neutrino point sources in the sky. We give an est imate of this background. If there exists a galactic halo of baryonic dark matter, one may be able to use the technique of registering the g alactic neutrino background to determine its distribution.
