Prof. Peter Meszaros (Pennsylvania State University)02/08/2011, 14:00NeutrinosOralI will discuss the model dependence of the neutrino flux in the GeV to EeV range implied in the common GRB paradigm, in the light of recent IceCube constraints. Possible differences in the neutrino spectra expected in some recent variations on the GRB model will also be reviewed.Go to contribution page

Juan Antonio Aguilar Sánchez (UW-Madison)02/08/2011, 14:30NeutrinosOralThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a kilometer-scale detector located in the South Pole. The full detector comprises 5,160 photomultipliers (PMTs) deployed along 86 strings from 1.5-2.5 km deep in the ice. The detector construction finished during the Austral summer of 2010-11. In addition, a dense sub-array of 6 strings in the center of the detector together with 7 surrounding...Go to contribution page

Dr Stephanie Escoffier (Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille)02/08/2011, 14:55NeutrinosOralNeutrino astronomy plays a major role in the understanding of cosmic particle acceleration mechanisms and so may provide valuable information about the properties of the sources of the highest energy particles in the Universe. Another promising area of research of a neutrino telescope lies in the indirect search for dark matter particles or particles beyond the Standard Model. ANTARES, the...Go to contribution page

Mr Gómez González Juan Pablo (ANTARES)02/08/2011, 15:15NeutrinosOralThe ANTARES detector is the first full operational and the largest underwater neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere. Located at 40 km offshore the coast of Toulon, it consists of 12 detection lines anchored to the seabed at a depth of 2475 m and divided on 25 foors (or storeys) composed by a triplet of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). This three-dimensional photo-detector array...Go to contribution page

Carlos de los Heros (Uppsala University)02/08/2011, 16:00NeutrinosOralThe construction of the IceCube neutrino observatory was completed in December 2010 and the detector is now operating with 86 strings and 5160 optical modules. The detector has been taking data in different configurations while construction took place. We present recent results from the searches for dark matter candidates with IceCube using the Sun and the Galactic Center and Halo as...Go to contribution page

Pat Scott (McGill University)02/08/2011, 16:20NeutrinosOralTypical analyses of neutrino telescope data for signals of WIMP annihilation in the Sun assume some particular annihilation final states. Upper limits are drawn on WIMP-nucleon scattering cross-sections as a function of the WIMP mass, which must then be interpreted in terms of specific particle theories such as supersymmetry. This interpretation is often complicated by the question of...Go to contribution page

Dr Juan de Dios Zornoza (IFIC)02/08/2011, 16:40NeutrinosOralThe ANTARES neutrino telescope was completed in 2008 after the installation of its twelfth line. Its scientific scope is very broad, but the two main goals are the observation of astrophysical neutrino sources and the indirect detection of dark matter. The latter is possible through the detection of neutrinos produced after the annihilation of WIMPs, which would accumulate in sources like...Go to contribution page

Prof. Subir Sarkar (University of Oxford)02/08/2011, 17:00NeutrinosOralCosmogenic neutrinos with energy up to ~10^{11} GeV originate from photo- hadronic interactions of UHECR protons with the CMB and the accompanying EM cascades generate a diffuse gamma-ray background in the GeV-TeV region. Thus Fermi-LAT measurements of the extragalactic gamma-ray flux constrain the cosmogenic flux and, indirectly, the UHECR source spectrum and its cosmological...Go to contribution page

Mr Jose Luis Navarro (Universidad de Granada)02/08/2011, 17:30NeutrinosOralThe Pierre Auger Observatory is a hybrid detector of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays. It has the capability of detecting ultra-high energy neutrinos of all flavours above 10$^{17}$ eV. The method adopted is to search for very inclined showers produced close to the detector. The properties of such showers that start deep in the atmosphere are different at ground level from those showers...Go to contribution page

Chad Finley (Stockholm University)02/08/2011, 17:55NeutrinosOralSimultaneous observations in different wavelengths are critical for understanding the high energy universe. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory offers the possibility to view the universe through the neutrino window, to distinguish hadronic and leptonic processes and to peer inside regions opaque to EM radiation. In many cases, the neutrinos may also be the first messengers to arrive, and...Go to contribution page
