Upgrade Update #11
Steady progress continues on the IceCube Upgrade construction effort. Drilling and installation operations have continued to stabilize, and four of the seven holes have been completed so far. It takes a lot of energy to accomplish tasks at each stage of the process, from heavy lifting by equipment to position…
A combined analysis of the prompt neutrino flux
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole searches for high-energy neutrinos that are either produced in the vicinity of distant astrophysical accelerators like black holes and neutron stars (astrophysical neutrinos) or from the interaction of cosmic rays in the Earth’s atmosphere (atmospheric neutrinos). Atmospheric neutrinos arise primarily from the…
