The first search for extremely-high energy cosmogenic neutrinos with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We report on the results of the search for extremely-high energy (EHE) neutrinos with energies above $10^7$ GeV obtained with the partially ($sim$30%) constructed IceCube in 2007. From the absence of signal events in the sample of 242.1 days of effective livetime, we derive a 90% C.L. model independent differential upper limit based on the number of signal events per energy decade at $E^2 phi_{ u_e+ u_mu+ u_tau}simeq 1.4 times 10^{-6}$ GeV cm$^{-2}$ sec$^{-1}$ sr$^{-1}$ for neutrinos in the energy range from $3times10^7$ to $3times10^9$ GeV.
