Discovery of the multi-messenger gamma-ray counterpart of the IceCube neutrino signal
A signal of high-energy extraterrestrial neutrinos from unknown source(s) was recently discovered by the IceCube experiment. Neutrinos are always produced together with gamma-rays, but the gamma-ray flux from extragalactic sources is suppressed due to attenuation in the intergalactic medium. We report the discovery of the multi-TeV gamma-ray counterpart of the IceCube neutrino signal in the form of high Galactic latitude diffuse emission observed by the Fermi telescope. The detection of the gamma-ray counterpart suggests that a sizable part of the neutrino flux originates from the Milky Way. The diffuse multi-messenger (neutrino and gamma-ray) signal at high Galactic latitudes could originate either from previously unknown nearby cosmic ray “PeVatron” source(s) or from decays of heavy dark matter particles.
