Probing neutrino emission at GeV energies from astrophysical transient events with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

G. D. Wasseige and K. Kruiswijk

This groundbreaking research by Gwenhaël De Wasseige and Karlijn Kruiswijk explores the elusive astrophysical neutrinos emitted from GRB 221009A, the brightest gamma-ray burst ever detected. Their findings, derived from the innovative ELOWEN selection in the 0.5-5 GeV energy range, pave the way for enhanced low-energy neutrino detection capabilities.

Abstract
This paper presents the first IceCube search for astrophysical neutrinos below 5 GeV emitted from GRB 221009A, the brightest GRB ever observed. The search utilized the ELOWEN selection, focusing on the 0.5-5 GeV energy range. No significant deviation from the expected background was found. The paper also details plans to improve IceCube's low-energy neutrino detection capabilities, including direction reconstruction and noise rejection optimization, to probe more transient events in the future.
