Titre |
Ghosts in the ice - Searching for the Universe's most elusive particles at the South Pole |
|
Résumé |
In some of the planet's most extreme environments scientists are constructing enormous
detectors to study the very rare interactions produced by neutrinos. In particular, at South
Pole Station Antarctica more than a cubic kilometer of the deep glacial ice has been
instrumented to construct the world's largest neutrino detector to date: the IceCube Neutrino
Observatory. Designed to detect the highest energy neutrinos expected to be produced in the
most violent astrophysical processes, IceCube has established a vibrant scientific program
that has begun to revolutionize the fields of particle and astro-physics. In this talk I will
present some of the most recent results from this new window to the Universe, and will
discuss the plans underway to significantly enhance its long-term future reach. |
