Some of the biggest achievements modern era particle physics, such as discovery Higgs boson, have been made possible by tremendous effort in building and operating large-scale experiments like Large Hadron Collider or Tevatron. In these facilities, ultimate theory to describe matter at most fundamental level is constantly probed verified. These often produce large amounts data that require storing, processing, analysis techniques push limits traditional information processing schemes. Thus,...
Indirect searches for signatures of corpuscular dark matter have been performed using all cosmic messengers: gamma rays, and neutrinos. The search from neutrinos is particular importance since they are the only courier that can reach detectors processes in dense environments, such as core Sun or Earth, edge observable Universe. In this work, we introduce $\chi$aro$\nu$, a software package that, spirit its mythological Greek namesake $\chi \acute\alpha \rho \omega \nu $, bridges sector...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have seen extensive applications in scientific data analysis, including neutrino telescopes. However, the from these experiments present numerous challenges to CNNs, such as non-regular geometry, sparsity, and high dimensionality. Consequently, CNNs are highly inefficient on telescope data, require significant pre-processing that results information loss. We propose sparse submanifold convolutions (SSCNNs) a solution issues show SSCNN event reconstruction...

The detection of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos by IceCube has opened a new window on our Universe. While measured the flux these at energies up to several PeV, much remains be discovered regarding their origin and nature. Currently, measurements are limited small sample size difficulty discriminating between electron tau neutrinos. TAMBO is next-generation neutrino observatory specifically designed detect in 1-100 PeV energy range, enabling tests physics high characterization sources....
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) can be gravitationally captured by the Sun and trapped in its core. The annihilation of those WIMPs into Standard Model produces a spectrum neutrinos whose energy distribution is related to dark matter mass. In this work, we present theoretical framework for relating an observed neutrino flux WIMP-nucleon cross section summarize previous solar WIMP search carried out IceCube. We then outline ongoing updated search, focusing on improvements over search.
The existence of dark matter (DM) has been well-established by repeated experiments probing various length scales. Even though DM is expected to make up 85\% the current content Universe, its nature remains unknown. One broad class corpuscular motivated Standard Model (SM) extensions weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). WIMPs can generically have a non-zero cross-section with SM nuclei, which allows them scatter off nuclei in large celestial bodies such as Sun, losing energy and...
Ever-increasing amount of data is produced by particle detectors in their quest to unveil the laws Nature. The large rate requires use specialized triggers that promptly reduce a manageable level; however, doing so, unexpected new phenomena may escape detection. Additionally, increasingly difficult analyze effectively, which has led recent revolution on machine learning techniques. Here, we present methodology based quantum compression techniques capacity store exponentially more information...

Cosmic-rays interacting with nucleons in the solar atmosphere produce a cascade of particles that give rise to flux high-energy neutrinos and gamma-rays. Fermi has observed this gamma-ray flux; however, associated neutrino escaped observation. In contribution, we put forward two strategies detect these neutrinos, which, if seen, would push our understanding provide new testing ground properties. First, will extend previous analysis, which used through-going muon events collected years...
The hunt for cosmogenic neutrinos is a target of next generation observatories: IceCube-Gen2, RNO, GRAND, POEMMA, and CHANT. In recent publication, novel detection strategy these has been put forward. This new technique relies on the observation Earth-throughgoing tau at PeV energies. By measuring flux this energy, we can indirectly observe EeV energies since two are related by cascading down neutrinos. However, such link demands an accurate simulation VHE neutrino transport.
