Searches for point-like sources of cosmic neutrinos with 13 years of ANTARES data
No full textThe 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.

Constraining the contribution of Gamma-Ray Bursts to the high-energy diffuse neutrino flux with 10 years of ANTARES data
No full textAddressing 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.

Search for a diffuse flux of cosmic neutrinos with the ANTARES neutrino telescope
No full textThe 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
No full textANTARES 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.
