中微子触发机会目标(NToO)与AMANDA-II和MAGIC的试验运行
Neutrino Triggered Target of Opportunity (NToO) test run with AMANDA-II and MAGIC
摘要:
千米级中微子望远镜目前正在建造(IceCube)和设计(KM 3 NeT)。虽然到目前为止还没有发现宇宙起源的中微子流,但预计在未来几年内将发现第一个微弱的信号。多信使(结合不同种类的发射的观测)研究可以在相关性的情况下增加中微子的发现机会。一个可能的应用是寻找高能中微子和已建立信号的时间相关性。我们展示了第一个适应的机会战略的目标,收集同时数据的高能中微子和伽马射线。坐标接近预选候选源的中微子事件用于警告伽马射线观测。正符合的探测可以增加发现中微子的机会。更一般地说,这种操作方案可以增加同时观测的可用性。如果宇宙中微子信号可以建立,结合观测将允许时间相关性研究,因此对源建模的约束。该方案的第一个技术实施涉及AMANDA-II和MAGIC已经实现了几个预选源在一个短期的测试运行(9月10日)。到2006年12月),显示了概念的可行性。显示了该测试运行的结果。
英文摘要:
Kilometer scale neutrino telescopes are now being constructed (IceCube) and designed (KM3NeT). While no neutrino flux of cosmic origin has been discovered so far, the first weak signals are expected to be discerned in the next few years. Multi-messenger (observations combining different kinds of emission) investigations can enhance the discovery chance for neutrinos in case of correlations. One possible application is the search for time correlations of high energy neutrinos and established signals. We show the first adaptation of a Target of Opportunity strategy to collect simultaneous data of high energy neutrinos and gamma-rays. Neutrino events with coordinates close to preselected candidate sources are used to alert gamma-ray observations. The detection of a positive coincidence can enhance the neutrino discovery chance. More generally, this scheme of operation can increase the availability of simultaneous observations. If cosmic neutrino signals can be established, the combined observations will allow time correlation studies and therefore constraints on the source modeling. A first technical implementation of this scheme involving AMANDA-II and MAGIC has been realized for few pre-selected sources in a short test run (Sept. to Dec. 2006), showing the feasability of the concept. Results from this test run are shown.
