Particle Physics Seminar

"A Search for a Diffuse Flux of Astrophysical Muon Neutrinos with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory"

Presented by Sean Grullon, University of Wisconsin - Madison

Thursday, August 18, 2011, 3:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a 1 km^3 detector currently operating at the South Pole. Searching for high energy neutrinos from unresolved astrophysical sources is one of the main analysis strategies used in the search for astrophysical neutrinos with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. A hard energy spectrum of neutrinos from isotropically distributed astrophysical sources could
contribute to form a detectable signal above the atmospheric neutrino background. A reliable method of estimating the energy of the neutrino-induced lepton is crucial for identifying astrophysical neutrinos. An analysis will be presented using data from the 40 string configuration taken during its 2008-2009 science run.
