在南极脉冲瞬变天线（ANITA）实验的前三次飞行中，合作探测到了几个中微子候选者。其中两个候选事件与超高能上行空气簇射一致，并与τ中微子解释兼容。第三个中微子候选事件是在南极冰中寻找阿斯卡里辐射时发现的，尽管它也与背景预期一致。推断出的前两个事件的出现角度是在紧张与冰立方和ANITA限制各向同性宇宙成因中微子通量。在这里，我们测试的假设，这些事件是天体物理学的起源，可能是由一个点源在重建的方向。考虑到任何超高能τ中微子通量穿越地球应该伴随着TeV-PeV范围内的二次通量，我们使用三种互补的方法在7年的IceCube数据中搜索这些二次对应物。在没有任何重大检测的情况下，我们对来自潜在点源的中微子通量设定了上限。我们比较这些限制ANITA的灵敏度在同一方向上，并表明，这些异常事件的天体物理学解释标准模型假设下受到严重限制，无论源谱。
During the first three flights of the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, the collaboration detected several neutrino candidates. Two of these candidate events were consistent with an ultra-high-energy upgoing air shower and compatible with a tau neutrino interpretation. A third neutrino candidate event was detected in a search for Askaryan radiation in the Antarctic ice, although it is also consistent with the background expectation. The inferred emergence angle of the first two events is in tension with IceCube and ANITA limits on isotropic cosmogenic neutrino fluxes. Here we test the hypothesis that these events are astrophysical in origin, possibly caused by a point source in the reconstructed direction. Given that any ultra-high-energy tau neutrino flux traversing the Earth should be accompanied by a secondary flux in the TeV–PeV range, we search for these secondary counterparts in 7 yr of IceCube data using three complementary approaches. In the absence of any significant detection, we set upper limits on the neutrino flux from potential point sources. We compare these limits to ANITA’s sensitivity in the same direction and show that an astrophysical explanation of these anomalous events under standard model assumptions is severely constrained regardless of source spectrum.
