论文摘要
在即将到来的中微子望远镜的范围内,发现超高能量的超高能量中微子的发现可能很快就可以触及。我们提出了一个强大的框架,以通过检测中微子多重组来计算点源发现的统计意义。我们将其应用于IceCube-gen2的无线电阵列组件。为了确定$3σ$意义的来源,iCecube-gen2最多需要检测三胞胎,而最坏的情况下,八个源,具体取决于源是稳态还是瞬态,并且在天空中的位置。来源的发现或缺失显着限制了来源人群的特性。
The discovery of ultra-high-energy neutrinos, with energies above 100 PeV, may soon be within reach of upcoming neutrino telescopes. We present a robust framework to compute the statistical significance of point-source discovery via the detection of neutrino multiplets. We apply it to the radio array component of IceCube-Gen2. To identify a source with $3σ$ significance, IceCube-Gen2 will need to detect a triplet, at best, and an octuplet, at worst, depending on whether the source is steady-state or transient, and on its position in the sky. The discovery, or absence, of sources significantly constrains the properties of the source population.
