IceCube is a kilometer scale high-energy neutrino observatory, currently under construction at the South Pole. It is a photo-detector, using the deep Antarctic ice as detection medium for the Cherenkov photons induced by relativistic charged particles. These charged particles may be atmospheric muons...
“The detector will have more than eight times the volume of IceCube and, importantly, better angular resolution as well. The combination of the two will allow detections with a year of data rather than a decade as is the case now.” Messier 77 is a well-studied galaxy by amateur and ...
During the public Kaggle competition “IceCube – Neutrinos in Deep Ice”, thousands of reconstruction algorithms were created and submitted, aiming to estimate the direction of neutrino events recorded by the IceCube detector. Here we describe in detail the three ultimate best, award-winning solutions...

A clue to finding the long-sought sources of cosmic rays is the recent observation of an astrophysical flux of high-energy neutrinos by the IceCube detector, since these possibly originate in hadronic interactions at cosmic-ray accelerators. While the neutrino sky map shows no significant indication...

IceCube is a neutrino detector composed of 5,160 optical modules embedded in a gigaton of crystal-clear ice a mile beneath the geographic South Pole. Supported by the National Science Foundation, IceCube is capable of capturing the fleeting signatures of high-energy neutrinos—nearly massless particl...
IceCube is a 1 km3 neutrino detector located at the South Pole, consisting of 86 strings, each equipped with 60 Digital Optical Photomultipliers (DOMs), frozen in the ice. The detector was still in construction when the data used in this analysis was taken, therefore only 59 strings were ...
Locating neutrino sources in the cosmos is not easy because the IceCube detector is swamped by signals from muons and muon neutrinos created by cosmic ray collisions with the atmosphere. These create a large and diffuse background signal and the challenge is to pick-out point sources of cosmic ...
