16. Search for a correlation between the UHECRs measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array and the neutrino candidate events from IceCubeAsen Christov, Andrej Filipčič, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Ahmed Saleh, Samo Stanič, Marta Trini, Darko Veberič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2015, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: We have conducted three searches for correlations between
ultra-high energy cosmic rays detected by the Telescope Array
and the Pierre Auger Observatory, and high-energy neutrino
candidate events from IceCube. Two cross-correlation analyses
with UHECRs are done: one with 39 cascades from the IceCube
‘high-energy starting events’ sample and the other with 16
high-energy ‘track events’. The angular separation between the
arrival directions of neutrinos and UHECRs is scanned over.
The same events are also used in a separate search using a
maximum likelihood approach, after the neutrino arrival
directions are stacked. To estimate the significance we assume
UHECR magnetic deflections to be inversely proportional to
their energy, with values 3◦, 6◦ and 9◦ at 100 EeV to allow for
the uncertainties on the magnetic field strength and UHECR
charge. A similar analysis is performed on stacked UHECR
arrival directions and the IceCube sample of through-going
muon track events which were optimized for neutrino point-
source searches. Keywords: ultra-high energy cosmic rays, Pierre Auger Observatory, Telescope Array, high-energy neutrinos, IceCube, correlation search Published in RUNG: 08.03.2016; Views: 5094; Downloads: 192 Full text (1,11 MB) |
17. Update of the neutrino and photon limits from the Pierre Auger ObservatoryCarla Bleve, Andrej Filipčič, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Ahmed Saleh, Samo Stanič, Marta Trini, Darko Veberič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2015, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: Ultra-high energy neutrinos and photons, with energies above
1 EeV and 10 EeV respectively, can be detected with the Surface
Detector array (SD) of the Pierre Auger Observatory. Downward-
going neutrinos of all flavours interacting in the atmosphere
at zenith angles θ > 60◦, upward-going tau neutrinos (“Earth-
skimming”), as well as photons in the zenith range 30◦ − 60◦
can be identified through the broad time-structure of the
signals expected to be induced in the SD stations. An
additional signature for photon-induced air showers is the
steeper lateral distribution of secondary particles at ground
with respect to the nucleonic showers. Stringent limits are set
to the diffuse flux of ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos and
photons, using data collected between 2004 and mid-2013, under
the hypothesis of an E[sup]−2 spectrum for signal primaries. Keywords: ultra-high energy neutrinos, ultra-high energy photons, cosmic rays, elemental composition, Pierre Auger Observatory Published in RUNG: 03.03.2016; Views: 5022; Downloads: 234 Full text (398,21 KB) |
