This observation, combined with archival neutrino detections in 2014-2015, has provided compelling evidence for the detection of the first high-energy astrophysical neutrino source. A promising way of detecting additional sources is to correlate neutrino detections with sources where a hadronic electromagnetic signature is observed. If blazars are a significant source of neutrinos, the high-energy gamma rays produced in pionic decays in coincidence with the neutrinos may cascade in the strong photons fields present in blazar jets, leading to strong emission in the hard X-ray to MeV gamma-ray energy range. We here present plans for a search for neutrino emission from a large sample of hard X-ray sources from the BAT AGN Spectroscopic Survey (BASS).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-13T21:06:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hard x-ray sources", "neutrino emission", "bat agn spectroscopic survey", "mev gamma-ray energy range", "first high-energy astrophysical neutrino source" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
