Solar WIMPs Unraveled: Experiments, astrophysical uncertainties, and interactive Tools
Matthias Danninger, Carsten Rott
The absence of a neutrino flux from self-annihilating dark matter captured in the Sun has tightly constrained some leading particle dark matter scenarios. The impact of astrophysic…
A Novel Approach to Study Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillation
Shao-Feng Ge, Kaoru Hagiwara, Carsten Rott
We develop a general theoretical framework to analytically disentangle the contributions of the neutrino mass hierarchy, the atmospheric mixing angle, and the CP phase, in neutrino…
Are There Correlations in the HAWC and IceCube High Energy Skymaps Outside the Galactic Plane?
Jason Kumar, Carsten Rott, Pearl Sandick +1
We use publicly-available data to perform a search for correlations of high energy neutrino candidate events detected by IceCube and high-energy photons seen by the HAWC collaborat…
Camera Calibration for the IceCube Upgrade and Gen2
Woosik Kang, Jiwoong Lee, Gerrit Roellinghoff +2
An upgrade to the IceCube Neutrino Telescope is currently under construction. For this IceCube Upgrade, seven new strings will be deployed in the central region of the 86 string Ic…
Solar Atmospheric Neutrinos: A New Neutrino Floor for Dark Matter Searches
Kenny C. Y. Ng, John F. Beacom, Annika H. G. Peter +1
As is well known, dark matter direct detection experiments will ultimately be limited by a "neutrino floor," due to the scattering of nuclei by MeV neutrinos from, e.g., nuclear fu…
Review of Indirect WIMP Search Experiments
Carsten Rott
Observational evidence for dark matter can be explained by Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). These dark matter particle candidates could indirectly be detected through…
