1. 1. Analysis of Atmospheric Muon Bundles with IceCube

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Anna Selina Neyer; [2024]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This work is a preliminary study of the background of a search for dark, long-lived particles in the IceCube detector. The high flux of atmospheric muons in IceCube is considered background to the detector's primary science goal, which is to detect astrophysical neutrinos through the emission of Cherenkov radiation.

3. 2. 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

4. 3. Constraints on the Kaluza-Klein Photon as a Dark Matter Candidate from the IceCube Collaboration Results

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Högenergifysik

   Author : Miquel Colom i Bernadich; [2019]
   Keywords : dark matter; WIMP; Kaluza-Klein; IceCube; neutrinos; muon neutrinos; muons;

   Abstract : New constraints on the scattering cross sections of the Kaluza Klein photon as a darkmatter candidate, its annihilation rate in the Sun and the resulting muon flux on Earth are derived.For this purpose, data collected in the IceCube Neutrino Observatory during 532 days of exposurein the austral winters between 2011 and 2014 have been analyzed with Poisson confidence intervals (J.

5. 4. Searching for doubly charged Higgs bosons using same-sign hadronic tau final states - A focused study on the charge-flip background of hadronic taus

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

   Author : Shi Qiu; [2019]
   Keywords : doubly charged Higgs bosons; neutrino; ATLAS; charge-flip; charge misidentification; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The search for doubly charged Higgs bosons (H±±) aims at resolving the mass generation mechanism of neutrinos in the Standard Model. The current search by the ATLAS Same-Sign Dilepton group uses the decay product of H±± to a pair of same-sign hadronic τ-leptons, which is an extension of their previous search using same-sign dielectrons and dimuons.

6. 5. Near detector simulation studies for CP violation discovery with ESSnuSB

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : In-Pyo Yeo; [2019]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The neutrino oscillation experiment ESSnuSB aims to measure the CP violation phase in the lepton sector with an intense neutrino beam produced at ESS. If the CP violation is discovered, then the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe can be possibly explained. READ MORE
