Over six weeks in June and July, 15 undergraduate and early graduate students from IceCube institutions, along with four visiting students, including an REU student, participated in the Cosmic-Ray Summer Program hosted this year at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison). The students gained hands-on research experience, attended lectures by IceCube scientists, learned software tools and […]
The 39th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC), the largest conference in the world for cosmic ray physics, was held on July 14-July 24 at the Geneva International Conference Center in Geneva, Switzerland. The main topics covered included cosmic-ray physics, gamma-ray astronomy, neutrino astronomy and neutrino physics, dark matter physics, solar and heliospheric physics, multimessenger astronomy, […]
Last week, more than 200 participants took part in the spring IceCube Collaboration meeting in Uppsala, Sweden. This was the third time Uppsala University has hosted the IceCube Collaboration meeting. The official meeting kicked off with opening remarks from Uppsala University professor Carlos Pérez de los Heros, who was also a member of the local […]
Observing tau neutrino candidates, producing the first image of our galaxy using a neutrino lens, pinpointing an active galaxy as a neutrino source—these are just a few of IceCube’s exciting results Georgia Institute of Technology professor Ignacio Taboada has witnessed during his four years as IceCube spokesperson. Fast forward to today, and Taboada is nearing […]
The time has come for our current winterovers, Connor and Kalvin, to pass the torch to the new winterovers that arrived at the South Pole in early November. As a winterover, individuals brave the unforgiving environment to spend a year—sometimes longer—at the South Pole, half of which is enveloped in complete darkness. Every year, two […]
More than 250 participants took part in the fall IceCube Collaboration meeting, which wrapped up last week in Madison, Wisconsin. Hosted by the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison), the meeting ran from September 23 through September 27. The collaboration meets in Madison every two years in the fall. […]
Over 250 participants took part in the spring IceCube Collaboration meeting, which wrapped up last week in Münster, Germany. Hosted by the University of Münster for the first time, the meeting ran from March 17 through March 22. Before the official start of the collaboration meeting, a number of pre-meetings were held to discuss the […]
Last week, over 200 IceCube collaborators descended on Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for the fall 2023 collaboration meeting. The meeting ran from October 18 through October 23 and was hosted by Michigan State University (MSU). Before the official start of the collaboration meeting, a number of pre-meetings were held on October […]
Last week marked the end of the 38th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC), the largest conference in the world for cosmic ray physics. The weeklong conference was held July 26-August 3 at Nagoya University in Nagoya, Japan. ICRC 2023 was the largest ICRC in history, with a record number of 1,406 participants (1,102 onsite and […]
