IceCube neutrino observatory at the South Pole: recent results

Abstract The IceCube neutrino observatory, the largest particle detector in the world (1 km 3 ), is currently being built at the South Pole. IceCube looks down through the Earth to filter out lower-energy particles and uses optical sensors embedded deep in the ultra-clean Antarctic ice to detect hig...

Description
Summary:Abstract The IceCube neutrino observatory, the largest particle detector in the world (1 km 3 ), is currently being built at the South Pole. IceCube looks down through the Earth to filter out lower-energy particles and uses optical sensors embedded deep in the ultra-clean Antarctic ice to detect high energy neutrinos via Cherenkov radiation from charged particles produced in neutrino interactions. A summary of selected recent results is presented.
