The previous week’s readiness review had identified a number of critical action items to address before actual drilling could begin. Once resolved, drill preparations began. The drill team…
A combined analysis of the prompt neutrino flux
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole searches for high-energy neutrinos that are either produced in the vicinity of distant astrophysical accelerators like black holes and neutron stars (astrophysical neutrinos) or from the interaction of cosmic rays in the Earth’s atmosphere (atmospheric neutrinos). Atmospheric neutrinos arise primarily from the…
