The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is the largest neutrino telescope in the world and uses clear Antarctic ice to detect neutrinos and cosmic rays over an incredibly wide range of energies. The multifaceted experiment runs with over 99% uptime and has been taking high-quality data for over a decade. In my talk I will give a brief overview of IceCube science including real-time efforts...
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole is the leading facility
worldwide for scientific exploration in the field of neutrino astrophysics.
A more densely instrumented infill array, IceCube DeepCore, was added during
construction to lower IceCube's energy threshold where it could exploit the
massive volume of exceptionally clear ice at the bottom of IceCube to...
IceCube-Gen2 is a planned extension of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the geographic South Pole. Gen2 is optimized to search for sources of astrophysical neutrinos from TeV to EeV energies. IceCube-Gen2 builds on a successful decade of scientific observations with IceCube. The observatory will utilize optical sensor modules integrated into the deep ultra-clear Antarctic ice for the...
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a Cherenkov light detector located deep in the Antarctic ice. A cosmic-ray detector at the surface, named IceTop, composed of Ice-Cherenkov tanks complements the in-ice detector. A Surface Array Enhancement for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory is planned to be deployed in the near future at the South Pole. It will consist of 32 hybrid stations positioned...
Neutron monitors (NMs) are ground-based detectors of the secondary particles produced in atmospheric cascades from primary cosmic rays. Using neutron time-delay data from neutron monitors (NMs), we can extract the leader fraction, L, of neutron counts that do not follow a previous neutron count in the same counter tube due to the cosmic ray shower. L is the inverse of the neutron...
