We present updated sensitivity calculations demonstrating Trinity’s capability of not only detecting the IceCube measured diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux but doing so in an energy band that overlaps with IceCube’s. Trinity will distinguish between different cutoff scenarios of the astrophysical neutrino flux, which will help identify their sources. We also discuss Trinity’s sensitivity to transient sources on timescales from hours to years.","PeriodicalId":20473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2021)","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79208606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These sub-threshold event candidates are promising targets for multimessenger studies, as the information provided by these candidates may, when combined with time-coincident gamma-ray observations, lead to significant detections. In this contribution, I describe our use of sub-threshold binary neutron star merger candidates identified in Advanced LIGO's first observing run (O1) to search for transient events in very-high-energy gamma rays using archival observations from the VERITAS imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope array.

Access to energies below 10 GeV is enabled by a dedicated low-energy gamma (LE-𝛾 ) trigger which is active only at low geomagnetic latitudes.

However, even for PeVatron sources reaching PeV energies, the system of cloud and accelerator must fulfil several conditions in order to produce a detectable gamma-ray flux. In this contribution, we characterise the necessary properties of both cloud and accelerator. Using available Supernova Remnant (SNR) and interstellar cloud catalogues, and assuming particle acceleration to PeV energies in a nearby SNR, we produce a ranked shortlist of the most promising target systems; those for which a detectable gamma-ray flux is predicted. We discuss detection prospects for future facilities including CTA and SWGO; and compare our predictions with known gamma-ray sources, including the Ultra-High-Energy sources recently detected by LHAASO. A range of model scenarios are tested, including variation in the diffusion coefficient and particle spectrum, under which the best candidate clouds in our shortlist are consistently bright. On average, a detectable gamma-ray flux is more likely for more massive clouds; for systems with lower separation distance between the SNR and cloud; and for slightly older SNRs, due to the time required for particles to traverse the separation distance.","PeriodicalId":20473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2021)","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86935182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work introduces a new Ultra-Heavy Analysis (UHA) dataset produced from CALET production data allowing for more streamlined analysis. We detail temporal and spatial correction algorithms using both the 26 Fe and 14 Si peaks to improve charge resolution in the Z >= 30 region. Additionally, this work presents a new method for removing the contributions from non-relativistic/lower-Z nuclei using trajectory tracing to compute effective cutoff rigidities in place of the previously used vertical Stoermer approximation. We show that replacing the approximated cutoffs with numerically calculated effective cutoff rigidities, calculated using the IGRF13 and T05 (Tsyganenko 05) geomagnetic field models, leads to fewer events being removed from the dataset while maintaining improved charge resolution for Z > 26. Furthermore, we introduce Tarle function peak fitting to perform charge corrections needed as a result of any quenching effects.

So, efficient means of rejecting the non-cosmic-ray noise and identification of signals attributable to extensive air showers are necessary. To address these problemswe discuss a Convolutional Neural Network-basedmethod of artefact rejection and complementarymethod of particle identification based on common statistical classifiers aswell as their ensemble extensions. These approaches are based on supervised learning, so we need to provide a representative subset of the CREDO dataset for training and validation. According to this approach over 2300 images were chosen and manually labeled by 5 judges. The images were split into spot, track, worm (collectively named signals) and artefact classes. Then the preprocessing consisting of luminance summation of RGB channels (grayscaling) and background removal by adaptive thresholding was performed. For purposes of artefact rejection the binary CNN-based classifier was proposed which is able to distinguish between artefacts and signals. The classifier was fed with input data in the form of Daubechies wavelet transformed images. In the case of cosmic ray signal classification, the well-known feature-based classifiers were considered. As feature descriptors, we used Zernike moments with additional feature related to total image luminance. For the problem of artefact rejection, we obtained an accuracy of 99%. For the 4-class signal classification, the best performing classifiers achieved a recognition rate of 88%.","PeriodicalId":20473,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference — PoS(ICRC2021)","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82839489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
