Abstract
Theory predicts a neutrino signal is possible from jets from active galactic nuclei (AGN) if there is hadronic acceleration in the jets. Flaring activity in X-rays and γ-rays from blazars could indicate similar activity in neutrinos in the jets. Short duration flares, on the scale of hours, could allow for narrow time windows to be searched for a Neutrino signal above the background of atmospheric neutrinos. A wavelet technique will be run over orbit-by-orbit Swift BAT (Burst Alert Telescope) data to identify flaring periods to accurately determine start and end times. The wavelet technique is notable as it accounts for both uneven time sampling and varying error bars across a time series.
