Extending the search for neutrino point sources with iceCube above the horizon

Extending the search for neutrino point sources with iceCube above the horizon

Point source searches with the IceCube neutrino telescope have been restricted to one hemisphere, due to the exclusive selection of upward going events as a way of rejecting the atmospheric muon background. We show that the region above the horizon can be included by suppressing the background throu...
