Students reach for the cosmos in IceCube Cosmic-Ray Summer Program
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…
Observation of a spectral change in the flux of astrophysical neutrinos
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, embedded in a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice, searches for weakly interacting particles called neutrinos that are able to travel undisturbed through the cosmos. Of interest are high-energy astrophysical neutrinos that can arise from cosmic ray interactions with matter or photons in astrophysical sources. Thus far,…
Week 35 at the Pole
As the sky at the South Pole gets brighter, we can definitely see the difference from just two weeks ago in this view of the IceCube Lab. The snow drift is still there, though, and that will stay there until it is intentionally moved—the sun won’t be able to make…
