Diffuse Emission of Galactic High-Energy Neutrinos from a Global Fit of Cosmic Rays

Abstract

In the standard picture of galactic cosmic rays, a diffuse flux of high-energy gamma-rays and neutrinos is produced from inelastic collisions of cosmic ray nuclei with the interstellar gas. The neutrino flux is a guaranteed signal for high-energy neutrino observatories such as IceCube, but has not been found yet. Experimental searches for this flux constitute an important test of the standard picture of galactic cosmic rays. Both the observation and non-observation would allow important implications for the physics of cosmic ray acceleration and transport. We present CRINGE, a new model of galactic diffuse high-energy gamma-rays and neutrinos, fitted to recent cosmic ray data from AMS-02, DAMPE, IceTop as well as KASCADE. We quantify the uncertainties for the predicted emission from the cosmic ray model, but also from the choice of source distribution, gas maps and cross-sections. We consider the possibility of a contribution from unresolved sources. Our model predictions exhibit significant deviations from older models. Our fiducial model is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7373010 .
