A Multi-messenger Search for Galactic PeVatrons using data from LHAASO, HAWC, and IceCube
ORAL
Abstract
Galactic PeVatrons, proposed sources within our galaxy capable of accelerating cosmic rays to Peta-electronvolt (PeV) energies, are believed to produce gamma rays and neutrinos through interactions with the interstellar medium. Recent observations from experiments like LHAASO and HAWC have detected gamma-ray sources emitting energies surpassing 100 TeV, suggesting the possibility of neutrino emissions. Our analysis primarily focuses on seeking correlations within data collected from LHAASO, HAWC, and IceCube, aiming to validate the hadronic PeVatron hypothesis. Furthermore, we aim to investigate the feasibility of characterizing diffuse neutrino emissions originating from segmented regions of the galactic plane.
