Contribution of blazars to the extragalactic diffuse gamma-ray background and their future spatial resolution

We examine the constraints on the luminosity-dependent density evolution model for the evolution of blazars given the observed spectrum of the diffuse gamma-ray background (DGRB), blazar source-count distribution, and the blazar spectral energy distributio ...

Limits on Neutrino Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts with the 40 String IceCube Detector

Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

IceCube has become the first neutrino telescope with a sensitivity below the TeV neutrino flux predicted from gamma-ray bursts if gamma-ray bursts are responsible for the observed cosmic-ray flux above 10(18) eV. Two separate analyses using the half-comple ...

Implementation and testing of the JET gamma-ray cameras neutron filters pneumatic system

Patrick Blanchard

Neutron filters/attenuators have been designed and constructed as an upgrade of the JET gamma-ray cameras (GRC's). This diagnostics upgrade should reduce the neutron flux at the gamma-ray detectors in a way that it would make possible gamma-ray imaging mea ...

FACT-The first Cherenkov telescope using a G-APD camera for TeV gamma-ray astronomy

Werner Lustermann, Mathieu Ribordy, Thomas Günther Bretz

Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiodes (G-APD) bear the potential to significantly improve the sensitivity of Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT). We are currently building the First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) by refurbishing an old IACT with a mirror ...

A G-APD based Camera for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes

Werner Lustermann, Mathieu Ribordy, Thomas Günther Bretz

Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACT) for Gamma-ray astronomy are presently using photomultiplier tubes as photo sensors. Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (G-APD) promise an improvement in sensitivity and, important for this application, ease of ...

SEARCH FOR MUON NEUTRINOS FROM GAMMA-RAY BURSTS WITH THE IceCube NEUTRINO TELESCOPE

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Levent Demirörs, Xiaoxia Bai

We present the results of searches for high-energy muon neutrinos from 41 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the northern sky with the IceCube detector in its 22 string configuration active in 2007/2008. The searches cover both the prompt and a possible precursor ...

AdS Black Disk Model for Small-x Deep Inelastic Scattering

Using the approximate conformal invariance of QCD at high energies we consider a simple anti- de Sitter black disk model to describe saturation in deep inelastic scattering. Deep inside saturation the structure functions have the same power law scaling, F( ...

IceCube sensitivity for neutrino flux from Fermi blazars in quiescent states

Mathieu Ribordy

We investigate the IceCube detection potential of very high energy neutrinos from blazars, for different classes of hadronic models, taking into account the limits imposed on the neutrino flux by the recent Fermi telescope observations. Assuming the observ ...

EDGE: Explorer of diffuse emission and gamma-ray burst explosions

Matthias Finger, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Simone Campana

How structures of various scales formed and evolved from the early Universe up to present time is a fundamental question of astrophysical cosmology. EDGE (Piro et al., 2007) will trace the cosmic history of the baryons from the early generations of massive ...

SEARCH FOR HIGH-ENERGY MUON NEUTRINOS FROM THE “NAKED-EYE” GRB 080319B WITH THE IceCube NEUTRINO TELESCOPE

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Levent Demirörs, Xiaoxia Bai

We report on a search with the IceCube detector for high-energy muon neutrinos from GRB 080319B, one of the brightest gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) ever observed. The fireball model predicts that a mean of 0.1 events should be detected by IceCube for a bulk Lore ...
