Description
The Fermi Bubbles are extended regions of hard gamma-ray emission which
were discovered with Fermi-LAT data to exist above and below the
Galactic Center. In order to explain the origin of the gamma-rays,
different theories are proposed. In particular, within hadronic
models, highly-accelerated cosmic rays interact with interstellar
matter and create the observed gamma-rays and in addition neutrinos.
Besides the investigation of the Fermi Bubbles, the search for
neutrinos was extended for the Galactic Center. An analysis method
and the preliminary results of the study of a possible neutrino flux
from the Fermi Bubbles and the Galactic Center, using data from the
neutrino detector IceCube will be described in this presentation.
