Identifying Galactic Sources of High-Energy Neutrinos

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2020-06-30 v1

Abstract

High-energy neutrinos present the ultimate signature for a cosmic ray accelerator. Galactic sources responsible for acceleration of cosmic ray up to the knee in cosmic ray spectrum will provide a guaranteed, albeit subdominant, contribution to the high-energy cosmic neutrino flux. In this review, we discuss the the prospects for identification of high-energy neutrinos from sources of the very high energy gamma ray emission in the Milky Way. We present the status of the search for point-like and extended emission from these sources, and describe how the results of these studies indicate that neutrino telescopes are closing in on identifying Galactic sources of high-energy neutrinos.
