Description
High-energy neutrino and γ-ray emission are expected from the Galactic plane, generated by interactions between cosmic rays and the interstellar medium or radiation fields. Recent observations from LHAASO have detected diffuse γ-rays from the Galactic plane and an ultrahigh-energy γ-ray bubble (Cygnus Bubble) in the Cygnus region up to PeV energies, suggesting the possibility of neutrino emission. Using publicly available 7 years of IceCube track data with the full detector, we conducted searches for neutrino signals correlated with LHAASO diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission and Cygnus Bubble with a template method. A mild excess of neutrinos is observed in the Galactic plane. We will present results from these searches.
