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. […]
IceCube statement on recent global events
News
Week 21 at the Pole
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. […]
Week 20 at the Pole
It’s cold at the South Pole, no matter how you slice and dice it. And as winter settles in, temperatures go even lower. […]
Week 19 at the Pole
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. […]
Week 18 at the Pole
The recent photos from the Pole reflect a peacefulness outside, with the impending darkness of winter still held off by a bright moon. […]
Week 17 at the Pole
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. […]
Week 16 at the Pole
Now that they’re here (they = auroras), we’ll likely see a lot of them. Which is a good thing—no one ever seems to tire of seeing auroras. […]
Virtual IceCube Collaboration meeting begins this week
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IceCube Collaboration is holding its annual spring collaboration meeting virtually. Sessions began this past week and will continue through May 15. […]
Week 15 at the Pole
There’s a first time for everything, including seeing an aurora waft across the winter sky at the South Pole. And that first came up last week for IceCube’s winterovers John and Yuya. […]
IceCube Upgrade Neutrino Monte Carlo Simulation
Introduction The IceCube Upgrade is an upcoming extension to the IceCube neutrino observatory which will densely instrument a 2 Mton region in the deepest ice, within the existing DeepCore sub-array. This new sub-array will comprise 7 new strings featuring a total of nearly 700 multi-PMT optical modules (known as mDOMs and DEggs) at a vertical […]
