Search for nuclearites with the ANTARES detector

ANTARES is a Cherenkov underwater neutrino telescope operating in the Mediterranean. Its construction was completed in 2008. Even though optimised for the search of cosmic neutrinos, this telescope is also sensitive to nuclearites (massive nuggets of strange quark matter) trough the black body radiation emitted along their path. We discuss here the possible detection of non-relativistic down-going nuclearites with the ANTARES telescope and present the results of an analysis using data collected from 2009 till 2017Article signat per 142 autors/es: B.

ANTARES search for neutrino flares from the direction of radio-bright blazars

In 2017, a high-energy muon neutrino detected by IceCube was found positionally coincident with the direction of a known blazar, TXS 0506+056, in a state of enhanced 훾-ray emission. Soon after, IceCube reported a compelling evidence for an earlier neutrino flare from the same direction found in the archival data, this time not accompanied by any observed electromagnetic activity. The IceCube findings suggest searching for flaring neutrino emissions from astrophysical sources, not necessarily accompanied by flares detected in y-rays. The analysis presented in this contribution scans the events collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope in 13 years of data taking in a search for clustering in space and time. The analysis method is based on an unbinned maximum likelihood approach. Generic Gaussian and Box profiles are assumed for the signal time emission, with both the central time and duration of the flare being free parameters in the likelihood maximization. The time-dependent approach is applied to the catalog of radio-bright blazars for which a promising directional correlation with IceCube muon tracks was recently reported [ApJ 894 (2020) 101, ApJ 908 (2021) 157].Article signat per 147 autors/es: A.

Search for a diffuse flux of cosmic neutrinos with the ANTARES neutrino telescope

The previous analysis of the ANTARES all-flavour 12-year neutrino data sample provided the observation of an excess of events, at the highest energies, above the expected atmospheric foregrounds. This excess, even though mild (1.8 sigma), has been found to be consistent in spectral slope and normalisation with the high-energy diffuse cosmic neutrino signal detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Even though the smaller detector size does not provide sufficient statistics to claim an independent discovery, the analysis of ANTARES data can provide valuable information in the study of the high-energy neutrino signal, in particular for what concerns the details of its energy distribution in the case of soft-spectra solutions. To improve the previous ANTARES results, a new event selection has been developed for cascade-like events, relying on a Boosted Decision Tree multivariate-analysis technique. This increased the event statistics in this channel by a factor of 5, while also dramatically reducing the surviving foregrounds and the related systematic uncertainties. This contribution will report on the status of the analysis and the prospects emerging from the use of this new event sample in the search for a diffuse flux of cosmic neutrinos.Article signat per 143 autors/es: A.

Search for correlations between high-energy gamma rays and neutrinos with the HAWC and ANTARES detectors

ANTARES is an underwater neutrino detector in the Mediterranean Sea. Its location, reconstruction accuracy for all-flavor neutrino interactions, and low energy threshold, make it the most sensitive neutrino observatory for searches below 100 TeV over large parts of the sky. The HAWC experiment is a water Cherenkov gamma-ray detector located in Mexico. Thanks to its large field of view it is an excellent instrument to observe the very-high energy gamma-ray sky and perform high-sensitivity surveys of the Galactic Plane. The 10-year ANTARES data set and 3-year HAWC point source surveys are used to search for all-flavor neutrino emission in correlation with the highly-significant observations by HAWC in the gamma-ray sky by means of a maximumlikelihood template search. No significant observation for a correlation has been identified and upper limits on the neutrino flux from the HAWC observations have been set.Article signat per 276 autors/es: A. Albert, S.

Constraining the contribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts to the high-energy diffuse neutrino flux with 10 years of ANTARES data

Addressing the origin of the observed diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux is one of the main challenges in the context of the neutrino astronomy nowadays. Among several astrophysical sources, Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are considered interesting candidates to be explored. Indeed, being the most powerful explosions observable in the Universe, they are potentially able to achieve the energetics required to reproduce the neutrino flux. Thus, they are expected to provide at least some contribution to the astrophysical diffuse neutrino flux. Within the framework of the fireball model, mesons can be produced during photo-hadronic interactions occurring in the internal shocks between shells emitted by the central engine; from their decays, high-energy gamma rays and neutrinos are expected to be generated. Within this scenario, the results of a stacked search for astrophysical muon neutrinos performed in space and time coincidence with 784 GRBs in the period 2007-2017 using ANTARES data are presented. The neutrino flux expectation from each GRB detectable by ANTARES was calculated in the framework of the classical internal shock model. Given the absence of coincident neutrinos, the contribution of the detected GRB population to the neutrino diffuse flux is constrained to be less than 10% around 100 TeV. In addition, the systematic uncertainties on the diffuse flux are computed by propagating to the stacked limit the uncertainties on the model parameters for each individual burst.Article signat per 142 autors/es: A.

Multimessenger NuEM Alerts with AMON

The Astrophysical Multimessenger Observatory Network (AMON), has developed a real-time multi-messenger alert system. The system performs coincidence analyses of datasets from gammaray and neutrino detectors, making the Neutrino-Electromagnetic (NuEM) alert channel. For these analyses, AMON takes advantage of sub-threshold events, i.e., events that by themselves are not significant in the individual detectors. The main purpose of this channel is to search for gamma-ray counterparts of neutrino events. We will describe the different analyses that make-up this channel and present a selection of recent results.Article signat per 380 autors/es: R. Abbasi, M. Ackermann, J. Adams, J. A. Aguilar, M.

Search for an association between neutrinos and radio-selected blazars with ANTARES

Recently, evidence for an association between high energy neutrinos detected by IceCube and radio-selected blazars has been found by Plavin et al.(2020, 2021). This result wa.s achieved using an all sky complete sample of 3411 blazars selected on their parsec-scale flux density at 8 GHz higher than 150 mJy. We perform a positional correlation analysis using the same sample of radioselected blazars, with the latest point source sample of neutrinos extracted from the data collected by the ANTARES detector between January 29, 2007 and February 28, 2020. Preliminary results are presented and discussedPostprint (published version

Searches for point-like sources of cosmic neutrinos with 13 years of ANTARES data

The main goal of the ANTARES neutrino telescope is the identification of neutrinos from astrophysical sources. Thanks to its location in the Northern hemisphere, ANTARES can rely on an advantageous view of the Southern Sky, in particular for neutrino energies below 100 TeV. This feature, combined with a very good angular resolution for high-quality selected events, makes the telescope an excellent tool to test for the presence of point-like sources, especially of Galactic origin. In ANTARES, track-like events are reconstructed with a median angular resolution of 0.4º while for shower-like events a median angular resolution of 3º is achieved. The ANTARES Collaboration published the result of the search for cosmic point-like neutrino sources using track-like and shower-like events collected during nine years of data taking [Phys. Rev. D 96 (2017) 082001]. In this contribution, the update to this analysis using a total of 13 years of data recorded between early 2007 and early 2020 (3845 days of livetime) is presented. Moreover, the results of the dedicated searches for neutrino candidates from the tidal disruption events AT2019dsg and AT2019fdr, recently indicated as the most likely counterparts of two high-energy IceCube neutrinos, IC191001A and IC200530A, are reported.Article signat per 142 autors/es: A.

Search for relativistic Magnetic Monopoles with ten years of the ANTARES detector data

The presented study is an updated search for magnetic monopoles using data taken with the ANTARES neutrino telescope over a period of 10 years (January 2008 to December 2017). In accordance with some grand unification theories, magnetic monopoles were created during the phase of symmetry breaking in the early Universe, and accelerated by galactic magnetic fields. As a consequence of their high energy, they could cross the Earth and emit a significant signal in a Cherenkov-based telescope like ANTARES, for appropriate mass and velocity ranges. This analysis uses a run-by-run simulation strategy, as well as a new simulation of magnetic monopoles taking into account the Kasama, Yang and Goldhaber model for their cross section with matter. The results obtained for relativistic magnetic monopoles with ß = v / c = 0.57, where v is the magnetic monopole velocity and c the speed of light in vacuum, are presented.Postprint (published version

Search for non-standard neutrino interactions with 10 years of ANTARES data

Non-standard interactions of neutrinos arising in many theories beyond the Standard Model can significantly alter matter effects in atmospheric neutrino propagation through the Earth. In this paper, a search for deviations from the prediction of the standard 3-flavour atmospheric neutrino oscillations using the data taken by the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented. Ten years of atmospheric neutrino data collected from 2007 to 2016, with reconstructed energies in the range from ~16 GeV to 100 GeV, have been analysed. A log-likelihood ratio test of the dimensionless coefficients eµt and ett-eµµ does not provide clear evidence of deviations from standard interactions. For normal neutrino mass ordering, the combined fit of both coefficients yields a value 1.7s away from the null result. However, the 68% and 95% confidence level intervals for eµt and ett-eµµ, respectively, contain the null value. Best fit values, one standard deviation errors and bounds at the 90% confidence level for these coefficients are given for both normal and inverted mass orderings. The constraint on eµt is among the most stringent to date and it further restrains the strength of possible non-standard interactions in the µ-t sector.Postprint (published version
