Twelfth edition of IceCube Masterclass brings together students and scientists
By Alisa King-Klemperer | | Outreach |
Over 200 students across 18 institutions in Belgium, Canada, Germany, India, and the United States participated in the twelfth annual edition of IceCube Masterclass. The masterclasses were held between the months of March and May, with the Institute of Physics (IOP) in India and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas,…
Improved IceTop measurements add to the cosmic-ray muon puzzle
By Alisa King-Klemperer | | Research |
When charged particles from outer space called cosmic rays collide with particles in the Earth’s atmosphere, they create a shower of secondary particles (air showers) that cascade down to Earth. These secondary particles include photons, electrons, and muons. Some of these secondary particles reach the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the…
Week 25 at the Pole
By Jean DeMerit | | Life at the Pole |
Last week, things were quiet for IceCube’s winteovers as well as for the South Pole station in general, in recovery mode after the midwinter celebrations. But the skies weren’t quiet—the stars were out and auroras danced overhead. On one occasion, a large green auroa almost filled the entire sky, enough…
