Search for high-energy neutrinos from celestial sources in the Kolar gold fields experiments

Abstract

Neutrino-induced muons from celestial sources are searched for using KGF nucleon decay detectors. The large-angle penetrating muons produced by muon-neutrinos in the rock surrounding the detector are used. The overall rate of such muons is found to be consistent with that expected from atmospheric neutrinos; no significant excess is seen from any of the sources under consideration
