Improved IceTop measurements add to the cosmic-ray muon puzzle

By Alisa King-Klemperer | 25 Jun, 25 | 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 24 at the Pole
