Since the recent detection of an astrophysical flux of high energy neutrinos, the question of its origin has not yet fully been answered. Much of what is known about this flux comes from a small event sample of high neutrino purity, good energy resolution, but large angular uncertainties. In searches for point-like sources, on the other hand, the best performance is given by using large statistics and good angular reconstructions. Track-like muon events produced in neutrino interactions satisfy these requirements. We present here the results of searches for point-like sources with neutrinos using data acquired by the IceCube detector over seven years from 2008--2015. The discovery potential of the analysis in the northern sky is now significantly below $E_\nu^2d\phi/dE_\nu=10^{-12}\:\mathrm{TeV\,cm^{-2}\,s^{-1}}$, on average $38\%$ lower than the sensitivity of the previously published analysis of four years exposure. No significant clustering of neutrinos above background expectation was observed, and implications for prominent neutrino source candidates are discussed.

Resonant W and Z Boson Production in FSRQ Jets: Implications for Diffuse Neutrino Fluxes
astro-ph.HE 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 4.0
Modeling of electron distributions in FSRQ jets shows Z-boson production contributes a neutrino flux many orders of magnitude below the observed diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux, with a peak at redshift z ~ 1.
