Offer Description
The neutrino team at the Subatech research laboratory in Nantes is proposing a research project in multi-messenger astronomy, focusing on the study of transient phenomena such as fast radio bursts (FRBs), potentially associated with the emission of high-energy neutrinos.
This research is supported by neutrino telescopes such as KM3NeT, comprising two detectors: ORCA (low-energy) and ARCA (high-energy).
Since 2022, another thesis within the group has been devoted to the search for neutrinos coincident with FRBs, leading to methodological analyses and initial limits on detectable fluxes.
Further statistical analysis of over 900 FRBs is planned.
The new thesis project will continue this work by refining the analyses, differentiating FRB subpopulations (repeaters or not, galactic or extragalactic) and neutrino event types.
The aim will be to adapt and improve existing tools for a detector that has become more sensitive, and for expanding catalogs of sources.
Expected results include:
- a better understanding of FRB radio and neutrino emission patterns
- updated analyses with more sources and data
tools for monitoring future detector growth - the establishment of flux limits or, ideally, the first detection of a radio-neutrino association
- a contribution to multi-messenger alerts and monitoring
