“…This is the region (  < <  l 30 6 5 and - < <  b 2 2) where Milagro is sensitive and used to tune the model. Note that the ARGO-YBJ (Bacci et al 1999) experiment reports that gamma-rays between ∼350GeV and ∼2TeV are consistent with the Fermi-LAT model after masking out all sources (Bartoli et al 2015). If the Milagro diffuse flux measurement above ∼1 TeV in the plane can be resolved into individual leptonic sources by HAWC, the KRA-γ predictions may need to be adjusted downward.…”

The origins of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos remain a mystery despite extensive searches for their sources. We present constraints from seven years of IceCube Neutrino Observatory muon data on the neutrino flux coming from the Galactic plane. This flux is expected from cosmic-ray interactions with the interstellar medium or near localized sources. Two methods were developed to test for a spatially extended flux from the entire plane, both of which are maximum likelihood fits but with different signal and background modeling techniques. We consider three templates for Galactic neutrino emission based primarily on gamma-ray observations and models that cover a wide range of possibilities. Based on these templates and in the benchmark case of an unbroken E − 2.5 power-law energy spectrum, we set 90% confidence level upper limits, constraining the possible Galactic contribution to the diffuse neutrino flux to be relatively small, less than 14% of the flux reported in Aartsen et al. above 1 TeV. A stacking method is also used to test catalogs of known high-energy Galactic gamma-ray sources.

“…But, if the high energy emission of GRBs is sufficiently intense, the isolated particles at the ground could lead to a significant excess when compared with the background fluctuations. This method has already been investigated by S. Vernetto [2] and used for several experiments mainly using scintillators or RPC (for instance INCA in Bolivia [3] and ARGO YBJ in Tibet [4]).…”

Presenter: Denis Allard (denis@oddjob.uchicago.edu), arg-bertou-X-abs2-og24-poster During the past ten years, gamma-ray Bursts (GRB) have been extensively studied in the keV-MeV energy range but the higher energy emission still remains mysterious. Ground based observatories have the possibility to investigate energy range around one GeV using the "single particle technique". The aim of the present study is to investigate the capability of the Pierre Auger Observatory to detect the high energy emission of GRBs with such a technique. According to the detector response to photon showers around one GeV, and making reasonable assumptions about the high energy emission of GRBs, we show that the Pierre Auger Observatory is a competitive instrument for this technique, and that water tanks are very promising detectors for the single particle technique.
