Tipo Revista
Sub-tipo JCR

Resumen We present a search for very high-energy gamma-ray emission from the Northern Fermi Bubble region using data collected with the High Altitude Water Cherenkov gamma-ray observatory. The size of the data set is 290 days. No significant excess is observed in the Northern Fermi Bubble region, so upper limits above 1 TeV are calculated. The upper limits are between 3 x 10(-7) GeV cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1) and 4 x 10(-8) GeV cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1). The upper limits disfavor a proton injection spectrum that extends beyond 100 TeV without being suppressed. They also disfavor a hadronic injection spectrum derived from neutrino measurements.
