Recently the IceCube neutrino telescope detected two cascade events with energies around 1 PeV. Without invoking new physics in the neutrino sector, we analyze the source of these neutrinos and prescribe ways to distinguish between the various sources giving rise to these events.

Lorentz symmetry is a cornerstone of modern physics. As the spacetime symmetry of special relativity, Lorentz invariance is a basic component of the standard model of particle physics and general relativity, which to date constitute our most successful descriptions of nature. Deviations from exact symmetry would radically change our view of the universe and current experiments allow us to test...

We describe a concept for an instrument to measure the thickness of the ice shell on a planetary body, such as Jupiter’s moon Europa, by making use of the Askaryan Effect RF signal from extreme high energy neutrinos. Unlike a large high powered active device, i.e., an ice-penetrating radar, this instrument is a passive receiver of a naturally occurring signal generated by interactions of deep...
