“…Production of TeV and PeV neutrinos by protons accelerated by the plasma shock wave of GRBs was discussed [10,11] and such high-energy neutrinos were searched for by AMANDA [12], ANITA [13], ANTARES [14,15], Baikal [16], IceCube [17,18], and SuperKamiokande [19], but no signal was found. The searches for GRB neutrinos in the MeV energy range have been performed by four experiments: SuperKamiokande [19], SNO [20], KamLAND [21], and BUST [22].…”

International audienceA search for neutrino and antineutrino events correlated with 2350 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is performed with Borexino data collected between December 2007 and November 2015. No statistically significant excess over background is observed. We look for electron antineutrinos ( ν¯e ) that inverse beta decay on protons with energies from 1.8 MeV to 15 MeV and set the best limit on the neutrino fluence from GRBs below 8 MeV. The signals from neutrinos and antineutrinos from GRBs that scatter on electrons are also searched for, a detection channel made possible by the particularly radio-pure scintillator of Borexino. We obtain currently the best limits on the neutrino fluence of all flavors and species below 7 MeV. Finally, time correlations between GRBs and bursts of events are investigated. Our analysis combines two semi-independent data acquisition systems for the first time: the primary Borexino readout optimized for solar neutrino physics up to a few MeV, and a fast waveform digitizer system tuned for events above 1 MeV

“…Muon and spallation vetoes are applied after the interaction of a cosmic-ray muon, which occur at a rate of approximately 0.34 Hz in KamLAND. Further details regarding the event selection can be found in previous KamLAND analyses (Gando et al 2011(Gando et al , 2013Asakura et al 2015;Gando et al 2016a). A likelihood-based signal selection distinguishes electron antineutrino DC pairs from accidental coincidence backgrounds for a few to several MeV energy range.…”

We present the results of a search for MeV-scale electron antineutrino events in Kam-LAND in coincident with the 60 gravitational wave events/candidates reported by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration during their second and third observing runs. We find no significant coincident signals within a ±500 s timing window from each gravitational wave and present 90% C.L. upper limits on the electron antineutrino fluence between 10 8-10 13 cm 2 for neutrino energies in the energy range of 1.8-111 MeV.

“…This background is effectively constant up to ∼100 MeV. For a more detailed discussion of KamLAND's backgrounds, please see Asakura et al (2015) and Gando et al (2013). KamLAND's lower energy threshold gives it an advantage in this low energy neutrino range compared to the IceCube and Super-Kamiokande detectors.…”

-We present a search for low energy antineutrino events coincident with the gravitational wave events GW150914 and GW151226, and the candidate event LVT151012 using KamLAND, a kiloton-scale antineutrino detector. We find no inverse beta-decay neutrino events within ±500 seconds of either gravitational wave signal. This non-detection is used to constrain the electron antineutrino fluence and the total integrated luminosity of the astrophysical sources.
