Upgrade Update #10
Three down, four to go. That’s IceCube Upgrade strings, in case you’ve missed the progress so far. Compared to the first hole, the second and third holes showed marked improvement in drilling time as well as somewhat improved overall installation times. The top photo shows a closeup of an mDOM…
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…
