Rhia undertook a summer project to estimate the neutrino emission from combinations of supernova remnants and molecular clouds in our Galaxy. Supernova remnants are believe to be the acceleration sites for galactic cosmic rays. Cosmic rays, emitted from the supernova remnants, which interact wil produce neutrinos. The most likely sites for the cosmic-ray interactions are the molecular clouds close to supernova remnants. The neutrino flux produced depends on the age of the supernova remnant and the distance between the molecular clouds and the supernova remnants. Read about Rhia's research in her project report
