Search for Galactic PeV Gamma Rays with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

IceCube collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, R. Abbasi +274

Gamma-ray induced air showers are notable for their lack of muons, compared to hadronic showers. Hence, air shower arrays with large underground muon detectors can select a sample…

An improved method for measuring muon energy using the truncated mean of dE/dx

IceCube collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +277

The measurement of muon energy is critical for many analyses in large Cherenkov detectors, particularly those that involve separating extraterrestrial neutrinos from the atmospheri…

Lateral Distribution of Muons in IceCube Cosmic Ray Events

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +277

In cosmic ray air showers, the muon lateral separation from the center of the shower is a measure of the transverse momentum that the muon parent acquired in the cosmic ray interac…

Cosmic Ray Composition and Energy Spectrum from 1-30 PeV Using the 40-String Configuration of IceTop and IceCube

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +271

The mass composition of high energy cosmic rays depends on their production, acceleration, and propagation. The study of cosmic ray composition can therefore reveal hints of the or…
