  1. 6. Sterile Neutrinos and Non-Standard Interactions in Neutrino Telescopes

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Martin Sjöborg; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The failure of the Standard Model of particle physics to predict neutrino masses invites us to amend it. We have no reason to believe that the interactions currently described by the gauge group are the whole picture, nor should we expect that the number of fermions hitherto observed is correct.

  3. 7. A literature review of FASERν - An emulsion detector for collider neutrinos

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Lisa Andersson Loman; [2021]
    Keywords : physics; neutrinos; FASER; Standard Model; Beyond Standard Model; BSM; particles; elementary particles; neutrino cross sections; LHC; FASER nu; particle physics; physics experiment; CERN; long lived particles; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In 2021, the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) will start searching for light and weakly coupled particles 480m from the proton-proton collision point of ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The FASER main detector will have a sub-detector, FASERν, sensitive to high-energy collider neutrinos of all flavours. READ MORE

  4. 8. Investigations into neutrino flavor reconstruction from radio detector data using convolutional neural networks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Oscar Ericsson; [2021]
    Keywords : neutrino; neutrino flavor; flavor reconstruction; radio technique; deep learning; neural network;

    Abstract : As the IceCube Neutrino Observatory seeks to expand its sensitivity to high PeV-EeV energies by means of the radio technique, the need for fast, efficient and reliable reconstruction methods to recover neutrino properties from radio detector data has emerged. The first recorded investigation into the possibilities of using a neural network based approach to flavor reconstruction is presented. READ MORE

  5. 9. A search for a prompt atmospheric muon neutrino flux in the northern hemisphere using data releases from IceCube

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Marcus Haberland; [2020]
    Keywords : IceCube; flux; neutrinos; neutrino; muon neutrinos; muon neutrino; prompt; astrophysical; student project; contribution; fitting;

    Abstract : The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic kilometre scale detector for high-energy neutrinos above hundreds of GeV produced in Earth’s atmosphere as well as outside our solar system whenever particles are accelerated to ultra-relativistic energies. The prompt atmospheric contribution is a result of the creation of heavy mesons with charm components in the atmosphere. READ MORE

  6. 10. AGN Candidates for High Energy Neutrino Emission in IceCube

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

    Author : Roisín O'Rourke Brogan; [2020]
    Keywords : active galactic nuclei; agn; high energy physics; neutrinos; IceCube; blazars; jets; gamma emission;

    Abstract : Since the construction of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory was completed in 2010, many amazing discoveries have been made in the field of neutrino physics. Recently a neutrino event has been linked to an blazar-type active galactic nucleus source, bringing us one step closer to understanding the production of high-energy extragalactic neutrinos and ushering in a new era of multimessenger astronomy.
