We consider implications of the IceCube signal for hadronuclear (pp) scenarios of neutrino sources such as galaxy clusters/groups and star-forming galaxies. Since the observed neutrino flux is comparable to the diffuse γ-ray background flux obtained by Fermi, we place new, strong upper limits on the source spectral index, Γ≲2.1–2.2. In addition, the new IceCube data imply that these sources contribute at least 30%–40% of the diffuse γ-ray background in the 100 GeV range and even ∼100% for…

Can FSRQs produce the IceCube detected diffuse neutrino emission?
• Physics
• 2015
IceCube has reported the detection of a diffuse TeV-PeV neutrino emission, for which the flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) have been proposed to be the candidate sources. Here we assume that the

The diffuse Galactic gamma-ray flux between 0.1 and 1 PeV has recently been measured by the Tibet ASγ Collaboration. The flux and spectrum are consistent with the decay of neutral pions from
Testing the Dark Matter Scenario for PeV Neutrinos Observed in IceCube.
• Physics
Physical review letters
• 2015
With several-year observations by next-generation telescopes such as IceCube-Gen2, muon neutrino searches for nearby dark matter halos such as the Virgo cluster should allow us to rule out or support the dark matter models, independently of γ-ray and anisotropy tests.
