Another successful field season for IceCube Upgrade at the South Pole

By Alisa King-Klemperer | 25 Feb, 25 | IceCube-Gen2 WIPAC |

Since November of last year, a team of IceCube engineers and scientists have been hard at work during the second of three consecutive field seasons for the IceCube Upgrade. Over the course of the season, 37 team members, including 27 drill engineers and 10 installation and operations experts, were deployed [...]

Measurement of the neutrino inelasticity using IceCube DeepCore

By Alisa King-Klemperer | 27 Feb, 25 | Research |

When a muon neutrino crashes into the ice, it sometimes produces a hadronic shower and a muon, which are then detected by one of the 5,000 sensors of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. This hadronic shower carries a fraction of the energy of the original neutrino. This fraction is described by [...]

Week 7 at the Pole

By Jean DeMerit | 28 Feb, 25 | Life at the Pole |

The station is technically closed for the winter season, but there are still some Basler planes (and their pilots) transitioning from other Antarctic research stations that have stopped temporarily at the South Pole. IceCube winterovers Joe and Ilya were busy last week finishing up various outdoor tasks before the weather [...]
