Feintzeig - Intermediate Energy Starting Tracks
Veto techniques are opening up new doors for point source searches in IceCube. Traditional IceCube point source analyses are only sensitive to PeV-scale fluxes in the southern hemisphere. We demonstrate that extending the “high-energy starting event” veto to lower energies allows IceCube to probe southern sky sources in the 10 TeV – 1 PeV regime. After discussing the event selection and...
