High energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources can be detected as upward-going muons produced in charged-current interactions with the matter surrounding the detector. We present the results of a search for either a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux or a point-like source of neutrinos in the sample of upward-going muons gathered by MACRO. We find no evidence for both signals. The muon flux upper limit for the diffuse signal has been set at the level of 1.7 × 10^-14cm^-2 s^-1 sr^-1.

Abstract

High energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources can be detected as upward-going muons produced in charged-current interactions with the matter surrounding the detector. We present the results of a search for either a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux or a point-like source of neutrinos in the sample of upward-going muons gathered by MACRO. We find no evidence for both signals. The muon flux upper limit for the diffuse signal has been set at the level of 1.7 × 10^-14cm^-2 s^-1 sr^-1.
