Low-energy point source searches with IceCube
Due to the overwhelming background of atmospheric muons, the traditional IceCube point source search in the Southern Hemisphere is mainly sensitive to neutrinos with energies above 100TeV. A new approach focuses on events starting inside the instrumented volume. By utilizing different veto techniques we are able to significantly reduce the energy threshold and can now for the first time explore...
متن کاملRecent Results of Point Source Searches with the IceCube Neutrino Telescope
IceCube is a km scale neutrino detector being constructed deep in the Antarctic ice. When complete, IceCube will consist of 4800 optical modules deployed on 80 strings between 1450 and 2450 m of depth. During the 2007-2008 data taking season, 22 strings were operational. This configuration is already much larger than previous neutrino telescopes and provides better sensitivity to point sources ...
متن کاملSearches for relativistic magnetic monopoles in IceCube IceCube Collaboration
Various extensions of the Standard Model motivate the existence of stable magnetic monopoles that could have been created during an early high-energy epoch of the Universe. These primordial magnetic monopoles would be gradually accelerated by cosmic magnetic fields and could reach high velocities that make them visible in a e-mail: [email protected] b e-mail: [email protected]....
متن کاملPoint source searches with the ANTARES neutrino telescope
With the installation of its last two lines in May 2008, ANTARES is currently the largest neutrino detector in the Northern Hemisphere. The detector comprises 12 detection lines, carrying 884 ten-inch photomultipliers, at a depth of about 2500 m in the Mediterranean Sea, about 40 km off shore Toulon in South France. Thanks to its exceptional angular resolution, better than 0.3 above 10 TeV, and...
متن کاملIceCube Time-Dependent Point Source Analysis Using Multiwavelength Information
In order to enhance the IceCube’s sensitivity to astrophysical objects, we have developed a dedicated search for neutrinos in coincidence with flares detected in various photon wavebands from blazars and high-energy binary systems. The analysis is based on a maximum likelihood method including the reconstructed position, the estimated energy and arrival time of IceCube events. After a short sum...
