| Summary: | 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<font color="#222222"> South Pole Station Antarctica more than a cubic kilometer of the deep glacial </font>ice<font color="#222222"> has been instrumented to construct </font>the<font color="#222222"> world's largest neutrino detector to date: </font>the<font color="#222222"> IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Designed to detect </font>the<font color="#222222"> highest energy neutrinos expected to be produced </font>in<font color="#222222"> </font><font color="#222222">astrophysical processes, IceCube has established a vibrant scientific program that has begun to revolutionize the fields of particle and astro-physics.</font> 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 ... |
