Fluxes of neutrinos should be produced along with cosmic rays by the interaction of protons and photons, therefore astrophysicists Nathan Whitehorn and Pete Redl tried to detect tehm with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory with (or simply IceCube). However, the detection of neutrinos that should be associated with cosmic rays coming from from three hundred gamma ray bursts observed gave negative results.
