Neutrino Physics with the Precision IceCube Next Generation Upgrade (PINGU)
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the geographic South Pole is the largest neutrino telescope on Earth. IceCube and its low energy extension, DeepCore, were fully assembled at the end of 2010. DeepCore lowered the IceCube neutrino energy threshold to about 10 GeV, allowing access to a rich variety...
