A Search For Neutrino Emission From Fast Radio Bursts With Six Years Of Icecube Data, Karen Andeen Apr 2018

A Search For Neutrino Emission From Fast Radio Bursts With Six Years Of Icecube Data, Karen Andeen

Physics Faculty Research and Publications

We present a search for coincidence between IceCube TeV neutrinos and fast radio bursts (FRBs). During the search period from 2010 May 31 to 2016 May 12, a total of 29 FRBs with 13 unique locations have been detected in the whole sky. An unbinned maximum likelihood method was used to search for spatial and temporal coincidence between neutrinos and FRBs in expanding time windows, in both the northern and southern hemispheres. No significant correlation was found in six years of IceCube data. Therefore, we set upper limits on neutrino fluence emitted by FRBs as a function of time window …


Measurement Of Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations At 6–56 Gev With Icecube Deepcore, Karen Andeen Feb 2018

Measurement Of Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations At 6–56 Gev With Icecube Deepcore, Karen Andeen

Physics Faculty Research and Publications

We present a measurement of the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters using three years of data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The DeepCore infill array in the center of IceCube enables the detection and reconstruction of neutrinos produced by the interaction of cosmic rays in Earth’s atmosphere at energies as low as ∼5  GeV. That energy threshold permits measurements of muon neutrino disappearance, over a range of baselines up to the diameter of the Earth, probing the same range of L/Eν as long-baseline experiments but with substantially higher-energy neutrinos. This analysis uses neutrinos from the full sky with reconstructed energies …
