  2. 1. Investigating the potential of current and future neutrino detectors to identify the sources of the astrophysical neutrinos seen by IceCube

    Author : Maryon Ahrens; Chad Finley; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : High energy neutrino astronomy aims to view the universe with a new messenger, the neutrino. This messenger provides another window onto the universe, complementing what we can learn from photons, cosmic rays, and gravitational waves. READ MORE

  4. 2. Studies of triggering and exotic particle searches at ATLAS, and a search for trapped monopoles

    Author : Katarina Bendtz; David Milstead; Chad Finley; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetic monopoles; ATLAS; SQUID; trigger; exotic particles; heavy long-lived particles; High Energy Physics; högenergifysik;

    Abstract : The ATLAS detector at the LHC operated through 2011 and 2012 with 7 and 8 TeV centre-of-mass energy of its colliding proton bunches, respectively. One if its main objectives is to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. READ MORE

  5. 3. Search for Neutrinos from Gamma-ray Bursts using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

    Author : Kunal Avinash Deoskar; Chad Finley; Klas Hultqvist; Paschal Coyle; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gamma-ray bursts; neutrinos; IceCube Neutrino Observatory; Physics; fysik;

    Abstract : Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are short bursts of high energy γ-radiation and are among some of the most energetic phenomena in the universe. GRBs have three distinct emission phases: the prompt phase with high-energy γ-rays, the precursor phase which is the time interval before the prompt phase and is reported to have an additional smaller burst for some GRBs, and the afterglow phase which is the time interval after the prompt phase with observations for electromagnetic radiation across a large wavelength range reported for many GRBs.

  6. 4. Search for neutrinos from precursors and afterglows of Gamma-ray Bursts using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

    Author : Kunal Deoskar; Chad Finley; Klas Hultqvist; Magnus Axelsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astroparticle physics; neutrinos; acceleration of particles; Gamma ray bursts; Physics; fysik;

    Abstract : Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) have long been considered as a possible source of ultra high energy cosmic rays, which makes them a promising neutrino source candidate. Previous IceCube searches for neutrino correlations with GRBs focused on the prompt phase of the GRB and found no significant correlation between neutrino events and the observed GRBs. READ MORE

  7. 5. Searching for dark matter in the Galactic Halo with IceCube using high energy cascades

    Author : Samuel Flis; Klas Hultqvist; Chad Finley; Emmanuel Moulin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; IceCube; neutrino; dark matter; halo; Milky Way; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The presence of dark matter is inferred at scales ranging from rotations of galaxies to imprints in the CMB – the Big Bang after-glow. The nature of dark matter is, however, still unknown as no detection other than the gravitational one has been made. READ MORE
