Abstract

A stacking search for high-energy astrophysical neutrino emission is presented using three candidate source populations: ultra-luminous infrared galaxies and two categories of blazars, specifically high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lacs and extreme blazars. The analysis is based on 336 days of data from the Astroparticle Research with Cosmics in the Abyss component of the KM3NeT research infrastructure (KM3NeT/ARCA), collected with detector configurations comprising 19-21 detection units, yielding 1544 selected track-like neutrino candidates. The sample of ultra-luminous infrared galaxies consists of 75 sources, for which conventional power-law spectra are assumed in modelling their signal emission. The blazar samples comprise 232 high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac objects and 88 extreme synchrotron-peaked emitters, respectively. Their expected neutrino fluxes are obtained from numerical tools constrained by multi-wavelength observational data. No statistically significant excess above the atmospheric background is found for the three catalogues and 90% confidence level upper limits are set.
