First search for atmospheric and extraterrestrial neutrino-induced cascades with the IceCube detector

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Matthias Wolf

We report on the first search for atmospheric and for diffuse astrophysical neutrino-induced showers (cascades) in the IceCube detector using 257 days of data collected in the year 2007-2008 with 22 strings active. A total of 14 events with energies above ...

First search for extremely high energy cosmogenic neutrinos with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Levent Demirörs

We report on the results of the search for extremely-high energy neutrinos with energies above 10(7) GeV obtained with the partially (similar to 30%) constructed IceCube in 2007. From the absence of signal events in the sample of 242.1 days of effective li ...

SEARCH FOR MUON NEUTRINOS FROM GAMMA-RAY BURSTS WITH THE IceCube NEUTRINO TELESCOPE

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Levent Demirörs

We present the results of searches for high-energy muon neutrinos from 41 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the northern sky with the IceCube detector in its 22 string configuration active in 2007/2008. The searches cover both the prompt and a possible precursor ...

Limits on a muon flux from Kaluza-Klein dark matter annihilations in the Sun from the IceCube 22-string detector

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Levent Demirörs

A search for muon neutrinos from Kaluza-Klein dark matter annihilations in the Sun has been performed with the 22-string configuration of the IceCube neutrino detector using data collected in 104.3 days of live time in 2007. No excess over the expected atm ...

Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the AMANDA-II neutrino telescope

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Matthias Wolf

We present the search for Cherenkov signatures from relativistic magnetic monopoles in data taken with the AMANDA-II detector, a neutrino telescope deployed in the Antarctic ice cap at the Geographic South Pole. The non-observation of a monopole signal in ...

Search for a Lorentz-violating sidereal signal with atmospheric neutrinos in IceCube

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Matthias Wolf

A search for sidereal modulation in the flux of atmospheric muon neutrinos in IceCube was performed. Such a signal could be an indication of Lorentz-violating physics. Neutrino oscillation models, derivable from extensions to the standard model, allow for ...

Measurement Of The Anisotropy Of Cosmic-Ray Arrival Directions With Icecube

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Levent Demirörs, Matthias Wolf

We report the first observation of an anisotropy in the arrival direction of cosmic rays with energies in the multi-TeV region in the Southern sky using data from the IceCube detector. Between 2007 June and 2008 March, the partially deployed IceCube detect ...

First Neutrino Point-Source Results From The 22 String Icecube Detector

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Levent Demirörs

We present new results of searches for neutrino point sources in the northern sky, using data recorded in 2007-2008 with 22 strings of the IceCube detector (approximately one-fourth of the planned total) and 275.7 days of live time. The final sample of 511 ...

Determination of the atmospheric neutrino flux and searches for new physics with AMANDA-II

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Levent Demirörs

The AMANDA-II detector, operating since 2000 in the deep ice at the geographic South Pole, has accumulated a large sample of atmospheric muon neutrinos in the 100 GeV to 10 TeV energy range. The zenith angle and energy distribution of these events can be u ...

Extending the search for neutrino point sources with iceCube above the horizon

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Levent Demirörs

Point source searches with the IceCube neutrino telescope have been restricted to one hemisphere, due to the exclusive selection of upward going events as a way of rejecting the atmospheric muon background. We show that the region above the horizon can be ...

SEARCH FOR HIGH-ENERGY MUON NEUTRINOS FROM THE “NAKED-EYE” GRB 080319B WITH THE IceCube NEUTRINO TELESCOPE

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen, Levent Demirörs

We report on a search with the IceCube detector for high-energy muon neutrinos from GRB 080319B, one of the brightest gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) ever observed. The fireball model predicts that a mean of 0.1 events should be detected by IceCube for a bulk Lore ...

IceCube sensitivity for neutrino flux from Fermi blazars in quiescent states

Mathieu Ribordy

We investigate the IceCube detection potential of very high energy neutrinos from blazars, for different classes of hadronic models, taking into account the limits imposed on the neutrino flux by the recent Fermi telescope observations. Assuming the observ ...

Long-Term Monitoring Of Bright Blazars With A Dedicated Cherenkov Telescope

Mathieu Ribordy, Thomas Günther Bretz, Werner Lustermann

Flaring activity of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in VHE gamma-ray astronomy is observed on timescales from minutes to years and can be explained either by the interaction of relativistic jets with the surrounding material or by imprints of the central engi ...

Neutrino signal from γ-ray-loud binaries powered by high energy protons

Mathieu Ribordy

We present a hadronic model of activity for galactic γ-ray-loud binaries, in which the multi-TeV neutrino flux from the source can be much higher and/or harder than the detected TeV γ-ray flux. This is related to the fact that most neutrinos are produced i ...

Search for ultra-high-energy neutrinos with AMANDA-II

Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Levent Demirörs, Yi Wang

A search for diffuse neutrinos with energies in excess of 105 GeV is conducted with AMANDA-II data recorded between 2000 and 2002. Above 107 GeV, the Earth is essentially opaque to neutrinos. This fact, combined with the limited overburden of the AMANDA-II ...
