30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Neutrino and Gamma Ray Flux Expectations from HiRes Monocular Fits
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple model of a homogeneous population of cosmic accelerators injecting protons following a unique power law has long been shown to fit the HiRes monocular data very well. The model evolves the sources with redshift and adjusts both the redshift evolution and the exponent in the injecting power law to fit the data. At lower energies galactic iron is added in as suggested by composition measurements of Ref. [1]. The model includes interactions between cosmic ray protons of extragalactic origin and photons of the cosmic microwave background radiation; in particular photopion production, which causes the GZK cutoff. We present neutrino and gamma ray fluxes derived from proton propagation given the fitted injection spectrum and redshift evolution of their extragalactic sources.

30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE HiRes Limits on the Tau Neutrino Flux at the Highest Energies
Data from the High Resolution Fly’s Eye detector that measures cosmic rays with the fluorescence technique is used to set limits on the flux of tau neutrinos in the energy range from 10 to 10 eV. This energy range is particularly interesting as we expect a guaranteed flux of cosmogenic neutrinos from the GZK mechanism.
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE An upper limit on the electron-neutrino flux from the HiRes instrument
Air-fluorescence detectors such as the High Resolution Fly’s Eye (HiRes) instrument are very sensitive to upward-going, Earth-skimming ultrahigh energy electron-neutrino-induced showers. This is due to the relatively large interaction cross sections of these high-energy neutrinos and to the LandauPomeranchuk-Migdal (LPM) effect. The LPM effect is responsible for a significant decrease in the cr...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Search for Intermediate-Scale Anisotropy by the HiRes Experiment
The HiRes collaboration has searched for intermediate-scale anisotropy of ultrahigh energy cosmic rays in two ways: first a search for variation with declination of the flux of cosmic rays, and second in their arrival directions. The data of the HiRes-II detector was used in the search.

A method to calculate the Average Longitudinal Shower profile has been applied to the High Resolution Fly’s Eye Detector (HiRes) data. A complete detector simulation was used to throw CORSIKA (QGSJET) showers which are then analyzed using the same technique. The main features of the average showers are compared to the Monte Carlo as a function of energy. Systematic errors in the reconstruction ...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE HiRes Limits on Point-Like Sources of Cosmic Rays with Energy Above 10 eV
Point-like excesses have been alternately claimed and refuted in the direction of Cygnus X-3, BL-Lacertae objects, and others. We conduct a search for point-like deviations from isotropy in the arrival direction of ultra-high energy cosmic rays in the monocular data set collected by the High-Resolution Fly’s Eye. We find no evidence for point-like excesses and place a 90% c.l. upper limit of 0....
