Calculations of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux using VHEGR-Data

With the origin of the astropysical neutrinos observed by IceCube not being resolved, a closer look at possible sources is needed. A recent analysis by the IceCube Collaboration suggests that blazars detected by Fermi are responsible for less than a third of the observed neutrino flux. Research by Broderick et al. considers plasma beam instabilities in a more generalised model for the EGRB. This leads to a more fitting blazar distribution in the AGN-Paradigm. For VHEGR this distribution leads to a flux matching the Fermi data. The goal of the work is to calculate the diffuse neutrino flux supposedly generated by unresolved blazars based on the assumptions made by Broderick et al. This will then be compared to the diffuse flux measured by IceCube. Additionally new data obtained by Fermi and other VHEGR-Experiments will be used to refine the calculations done in 2013. This talk presents an outline of the methodology used to calculate the neutrino flux from the suggested distribution.
