We have conducted a search for such a signal using 276 days of data from the IceCube 22-string configuration detector acquired during 2007 and 2008. The effect of halo model choice in the extracted limit is reduced by performing a search that considers the outer halo region and not the Galactic Center. We constrain any large scale neutrino anisotropy and are able to set a limit on the dark matter self-annihilation cross section of σAv ≃ 10 −22 cm 3 s −1 for WIMP masses above 1 TeV, assuming a monochromatic neutrino line spectrum.

Research paper thumbnail of Observation of anisotropy in the arrival direction distribution of cosmic rays above TeV energies with IceCube

With such high statistics sample it is possible to observe, for the first time in the southern hemisphere, an energy dependence in the Galactic cosmic ray anisotropy up to a few hundred TeV. This study shows that the same large-scale anisotropy observed at median energies around 20 TeV is not present at 400 TeV; the anisotropy observed at 400 TeV shows substantial differences with respect to that at lower energy. In addition to the large-scale features observed at 20 TeV in the form of strong dipole and quadrupole moments, the data include several localized regions of excess and deficit on scales between 10 • to 30 •. The features observed at both large and small scale are statistically significant, but their origin is currently unknown.

This paper focuses on designing a setup that leads to the generation of electrical energy which is going to waste when humans are walking. There are different methods used to produce energy like conventional and non-conventional methods. In this project, we are doing generation of power by walking or running. Power can be generated by walking on the stairs. The generated power will be stored and then we can use it for domestic purposes. The paper proposes a novel technique for the creation of power utilizing piezoelectric sensors kept along the footpaths which can be ready to charge the battery and ready to supply the force at whatever time of our prerequisite. The non-conventional energy system is very essential currently to our nation. Nonconventional energy using footstep is converting mechanical energy into Electrical Energy. Due to this a lot of energy resources have been exhausted and wast...
