Observations of high energy neutrinos with water/ice neutrino telescopes
نویسنده
چکیده
The search for high energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin is being conducted today with two water/ice Cherenkov experiments. New instruments of higher performance are now in construction and more are in the R&D phase. No sources have been found to date. Upper limits on neutrino fluxes are approaching model predictions. Results are reported on the search for point sources, diffuse fluxes, gamma ray bursts, dark matter and other sources.

متن کاملNeutrino Conversions in Active Galactic Nuclei
I discuss the possibility of production of high energy cosmic neutrinos (E ≥ 10 GeV) in cores of active galactic nuclei and study some of the effects of neutrino mixing on their subsequent propagation. I also discuss the prospects for observations of these high energy cosmic neutrinos in new km surface area underwater/ice neutrino telescopes.
متن کاملHigh-energy neutrinos in the context of multimessenger astrophysics
The field of astroparticle physics is currently developing rapidly, since new experiments challenge our understanding of the investigated processes. Three messengers can be used to extract information on the properties of astrophysical sources: photons, charged Cosmic Rays and neutrinos. This review focuses on high-energy neutrinos (Eν > 100 GeV) with the main topics as follows. • The productio...
متن کاملSearch for Neutrino-Induced Cascades with the AMANDA-II Detector
The first generation of large open water/ice Cherenkov telescopes has recently started operation. The goal of these instruments is the detection of an astrophysical high-energy neutrino flux which, if detected would add crucial information to the puzzle of the origin of the high-energy cosmic rays. AMANDA (Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array) is located at the geographical South Pole and...
