Results from Super-kamiokande
The results from Super-Kamiokande on atmospheric neutrinos and solar neutrinos are presented. The contained event analysis of atmospheric neutrinos shows a small value of p/e ratio and a large asymmetry in the zenith angle distribution. A distortion of zenith angle distribution is observed in the upward-through-going muons resulting from atmospheric neutrino interactions in the rock surrounding...
متن کاملStudy of TeV Neutrinos with Upward Showering Muons in Super-Kamiokande
A subset of neutrino-induced upward through-going muons in the Super-Kamiokande detector consists of high energy muons which lose energy through radiative processes such as bremsstrahlung, ee pair production and photonuclear interactions. These “upward showering muons” comprise an event sample whose mean parent neutrino energy is approximately 1 TeV. We show that the zenith angle distribution o...
متن کاملAn Indirect Search for WIMPs with Super-Kamiokande
A potential source of high energy neutrinos is the annihilation of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) collecting in gravitational potential wells such as the centers of the Earth, the Sun, or the Galaxy. A search for such a WIMP annihilation signal using the Super-Kamiokande (SuperK) detector is presented. Super-K observes 1.1 upward throughgoing muons per day. These events are caused...
متن کاملAn indirect search for WIMPs in the Sun and the Earth using upward-going muon events in Super-Kamiokande
We present the result of an indirect search for high energy neutrinos from WIMP annihilation in the Sun and in the Earth using upward-going muon events at Super-Kamiokande. Datasets from SKI-SKIII (3109.6 days) were used for the analysis. We looked for excesses of neutrino signal from the Sun and the Earth as compared with the expected atmospheric neutrino background in three types of upward-go...
متن کاملStudy of Upward Showering Muons in Super-Kamiokande
A small subset of neutrino-induced upward going muons in the SuperKamiokande detector consists of high energy muons that undergo radiative energy losses through bremsstrahlung, pair production and photo-nuclear interactions. The mean energy of the parent neutrinos of these showering upward muons is approximately 1 TeV, allowing the selection of a high energy sample of neutrinos. We present the ...
