Search for extraterrestrial point sources of neutrinos with AMANDA-II.
We present the results of a search for point sources of high-energy neutrinos in the northern hemisphere using AMANDA-II data collected in the year 2000. Included are flux limits on several active-galactic-nuclei blazars, microquasars, magnetars, and other candidate neutrino sources. A search for excesses above a random background of cosmic-ray-induced atmospheric neutrinos and misreconstructed...
متن کاملSearch for Point Sources of High Energy Neutrinos with AMANDA
This paper describes the search for astronomical sources of high-energy neutrinos using the AMANDA-B10 detector, an array of 302 photomultiplier tubes, used for the detection of Cherenkov light from upward traveling neutrino-induced muons, buried deep in ice at the South Pole. The absolute pointing accuracy and angular resolution were studied by using coincident events between the AMANDA detect...
متن کاملSearch for Cosmic Point Sources of High Energy Neutrinos with the AMANDA-II Detector
We describe the search for astrophysical sources of high energy neutrinos with the AMANDA-II detector. This detector allows for reconstruction of neutrino induced muon tracks by the Cherenkov radiation emitted by relativistic muons. We analyze the AMANDA-II data recorded in the year 2000 with a lifetime of 197 days. A large fraction of the background of atmospheric muons can be suppressed by th...
متن کاملSearch for High Energetic Neutrinos from Supernova Explosions with AMANDA
Supernova explosions are among the most energetic phenomena in the known universe. There are suggestions that cosmic rays up to EeV energies might be accelerated in the young supernova shell on time scales of a few weeks to years, which would lead to TeV neutrino radiation. The data taken with the AMANDA neutrino telescope in the years 2000 to 2006 is analysed with a likelihood approach in orde...
متن کاملMulti-year search for a diffuse flux of muon neutrinos with AMANDA-II
A search for TeV – PeV muon neutrinos from unresolved sources was performed on AMANDA-II data collected between 2000 and 2003 with an equivalent livetime of 807 days. This diffuse analysis sought to find an extraterrestrial neutrino flux from sources with non-thermal components. The signal is expected to have a harder spectrum than the atmospheric muon and neutrino backgrounds. Since no excess ...
