Searching for PeV neutrinos with IceCube

Speaker

Dr Lu Lu (Chiba University)

Description

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the geographic South Pole has been taking high-quality data in the deep-ice since 2010. Extremely high energy neutrinos that carry energies above 1 PeV have been observed. The most constraining limits on the flux of ultra-high energy neutrinos, which could come from cosmogenic origins have been obtained based on a binned Poisson-likelihood-ratio method. In this talk, we will discuss the implementation of this statistical tool in light of an extremely rare event scenario.
