In two new papers, the IceCube Collaboration updates their eV-scale sterile neutrino search using an eight-year dataset and improved event selection. The analysis found no evidence of sterile neutrinos at this energy scale and was consistent with the no-sterile-neutrino hypothesis. […]
They got some great outdoor photos last week under bright moonlight—no headlamps needed to walk around outside. […]
IceCube has found a way to detect cosmic rays of lower energies previously unreachable by IceTop. In a paper submitted to Physical Review D, “Cosmic Ray Spectrum from 250 TeV to 10 PeV using IceTop,” the IceCube Collaboration explains how they implemented a new two-station trigger as well as the machine-learning method developed to analyze these events […]
Submitted ideas for the next pole marker are on display. The winterovers will vote on their favorite design for the 2021 marker. […]
The leadership of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory stands in unity with the members of the global community striving to overcome hundreds of years of systemic racism. […]
OK, so the weather’s cold (June average of -64° F), but there was lots of “cool” stuff at the Pole last week for IceCube’s winterovers. […]
It’s cold at the South Pole, no matter how you slice and dice it. And as winter settles in, temperatures go even lower. […]
Last week was a relatively quiet week at the Pole. Well, quiet as far as the IceCube detector was concerned, but there were a variety of things going on as usual. […]
The recent photos from the Pole reflect a peacefulness outside, with the impending darkness of winter still held off by a bright moon. […]
The skies are getting darker as the period of twilight comes to an end. As dark as it is, IceCube’s winterovers find it surprising how colorful the sky can become. […]
