# Carpet-2 search for PeV gamma rays associated with IceCube high-energy neutrino events

## TL;DR

This study uses the Carpet-2 air-shower array to search for PeV gamma rays linked to IceCube neutrino events, aiming to identify potential common astrophysical sources.

## Contribution

It presents the first search results for PeV gamma rays associated with IceCube neutrinos using Carpet-2 data, highlighting the detector's capability for such multi-messenger studies.

## Key findings

- No significant gamma-ray signals detected
- Established upper limits on gamma-ray flux
- Demonstrated feasibility of combined neutrino and gamma-ray searches

## Abstract

Carpet-2 is an air-shower array at Baksan Valley, Russia, equipped with a large-area (175 m^2) muon detector, which makes it possible to separate primary photons from hadrons. We report the first results of the search for primary photons with energies E_\gamma>1 PeV, directionally associated with IceCube high-energy neutrino events, in the data obtained in 3080 days of Carpet-2 live time.
