Search for Muon Neutrino Emission from the Galactic Plane with IceCube — •Christian Haack, Leif Rädel, René Reimann, Sebastian Schoenen, Lisa Schumacher, and Christopher Wiebusch for the IceCube collaboration — III. Physikalisches Institut B, RWTH Aachen

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has observed a diffuse all-sky all-flavor astrophysical neutrino flux above 30TeV. This flux has also been confirmed using up-going muon neutrinos above 200TeV from the Northern Hemisphere. Although no point sources have been discovered so far, IceCube is able to probe realistic models for neutrino emission from the galactic plane. In the galactic plane neutrinos are produced by the interaction of cosmic rays with the interstellar medium. The resulting neutrino energy spectrum depends strongly on the cosmic ray propagation model and the presence of cosmic ray accelerators. In this talk, we will present results of a likelihood-based search for neutrino emission from the galactic plane, using 6 years of IceCube up-going muon neutrino data.
