Search 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...
متن کاملSearch for neutrino-induced cascades with 5 years of the AMANDA-II data
The Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) is a Cherenkov detector deployed in the Antarctic ice cap at the South Pole. We present the analysis of the AMANDA data collected during 1001 effective days of the detector lifetime between the years 2000 and 2004. We focus our search on electromagnetic and hadronic cascades which are produced in charged-current interactions of high-energy...
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 کاملFirst search for extraterrestrial neutrino-induced cascades with IceCube
We report on the first search for extraterrestrial neutrino-induced cascades in IceCube. The analyzed data were collected in the year 2007 when 22 detector strings were installed and operated. We will discuss the analysis methods used to reconstruct cascades and to suppress backgrounds. Simulated neutrino signal events with a E energy spectrum, which pass the background rejection criteria, are ...
متن کاملNeutrino-Induced Cascades From GRBs With AMANDA-II
Using AMANDA-II we have performed a search for ν-induced cascades in coincidence with 73 bursts reported by BATSE in 2000. Background is greatly suppressed by the BATSE temporal constraint. No evidence of neutrinos was found. We set a limit on a WB-like spectrum, A flavors 90 = 9.5×10 −7 GeV cm s sr. The determination of systematic uncertainties is in progress, and the limit will be somewhat we...
متن کاملSearches for High-energy Neutrino Emission in the Galaxy with the Combined Icecube-amanda Detector
We report on searches for neutrino sources at energies above 200 GeV in the Northern sky of the galactic plane, using the data collected by the South Pole neutrino telescope IceCube and AMANDA. The galactic region considered in this work includes the Local Arm towards the Cygnus region and our closest approach to the Perseus Arm. The searches are based on the data collected between 2007 and 200...
