Neutrino Events at IceCube and the Fermi Bubbles

Lunardini, Cecilia, Razzaque, Soebur, Theodoseau, Kristopher T. et al.

Understand

We discuss the possibility that the IceCube neutrino telescope might be observing the Fermi Bubbles.

If the bubbles discovered in gamma rays originate from accelerated protons, they should be strong emitters of high energy (> GeV) neutrinos.
These neutrinos are detectable as shower- or track-like events at a Km^3 neutrino observatory.
For a primary cosmic ray cutoff energy at or above 10 PeV, the Fermi Bubble flux substantially exceeds the atmospheric background, and could account for up to ~ 4-5 of the 28 events detected above ~ 30 TeV at IceCube.
