Description
Summary:Abstract While the Standard Model has experienced great predictive success, the neutrino sector still holds opportunities for surprises. Numerous ongoing and planned experiments exist to probe neutrino properties at low energies. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, comprised of over 5000 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) situated in a cubic-kilometer of ice at the geographic South Pole, lies in a unique position to measure neutrinos at energies of a TeV and higher. In these proceedings, I discuss several exciting particle physics measurements using IceCube data and probes of physics beyond the Standard Model.
