We report on the search for neutrino-induced particle showers, so-called cascades, in the IceCube-40 detector. The data for this search were collected between April 2008 and May 2009 when the first 40 IceCube strings were deployed and operational. Three co ...
Very energetic astrophysical events are required to accelerate cosmic rays to above 10(18) electronvolts. GRBs (c-ray bursts) have been proposed as possible candidate sources(1-3). In the GRB 'fireball' model, cosmic-ray acceleration should be accompanied ...
The current supernova detection technique used in IceCube relies on the sudden deviation of the summed photomultiplier noise rate from its nominal value during the neutrino burst, making IceCube a approximate to 3 Megaton effective detection volume - class ...
We report measurements of the branching fractions and CP asymmetries for B-+/- -> eta h(+/-) (h = K or pi) and the observation of the decay B-0 -> eta K-0 from the final data sample of 772 x 10(6) B (B) over bar pairs collected with the Belle detector at t ...
