A Search for Neutrino Point-source Populations in 7 yr of IceCube Data with Neutrino-count Statistics
Abstract The presence of a population of point sources in a data set modifies the underlying neutrino-count statistics from the Poisson distribution. This deviation can be exactly quantified using the non-Poissonian template fitting technique, and in this work we present the first application of this approach to the IceCube high-energy …
