A team of international researchers, including scientists from the Russian National University of Nuclear Research (MEPhI), identified a signal from high-energy galaxy photons when investigating the data obtained by the Fermi Gama ray Space Telescope. This discovery published in the tut Physical Review-D kayn magazine can shed light on the source of the high-energy neutrinos previously identified by scientists at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. High-energy neutrinos, which are difficult to capture, rarely interact with the other substance and travel unobtrusively over billions of light-years. High-energy neutrinos traveled almost 3.7 billion years at a speed of light before they were detected on Earth. This is far further than any other neutrinos whose origin can be identified by scientists.
Detected Signal, More Than 300 Electron Volts
Scientists from the Russian National University of Nuclear Studies (MEPhI), who collaborated with researchers from universities in France, Norway and Switzerland, studied the gamma ray data with high energy (more than 300 electron volts) obtained by the Fermi Space Telescope detected an unknown element. MEPhI Professor Dmitriy Semikoz, one of the scientists conducting the research, said in a statement on the subject:
''In If more than 300 electron volts of energy are available in sources other than our galaxy, it is likely that the signals obtained may be very weak due to the gamma ray being drawn into the intergalactic environment. On the other hand, if we think that gamma rays are almost never drawn to our galaxy, the new element must be in one place of our galaxy.''
