IceCube and the Discovery of High-Energy Cosmic Neutrinos
Offered By: APS Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the groundbreaking IceCube project and its discovery of high-energy cosmic neutrinos in this 41-minute conference talk presented by Francis Halzen from the University of Wisconsin, Madison at the 2015 APS April Meeting in Baltimore, Maryland. Delve into the transformation of one cubic kilometer of natural Antarctic ice into a neutrino detector capable of observing 100,000 neutrinos annually in the GeV to PeV energy range. Learn about the instrument's design, data analysis techniques, and the significance of isolating a flux of high-energy cosmic neutrinos. Gain insights into the implications of this discovery for understanding the non-thermal universe, including how a substantial portion of energy from compact objects like neutron stars and supermassive black holes is generated in hadronic accelerators. Uncover the fascinating connection between neutrino detection and our comprehension of the universe's most energetic phenomena.
