The 39th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC), the largest conference in the world for cosmic ray physics, was held on July 14-July 24 at the Geneva International Conference Center in Geneva, Switzerland. The main topics covered included cosmic-ray physics, gamma-ray astronomy, neutrino astronomy and neutrino physics, dark matter physics, solar…
GollumFit: An open-source software for neutrino telescope analyses
At the South Pole, there exists the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a gigaton-scale detector that detects tiny, nearly massless particles called neutrinos. Neutrinos can travel unhindered through space and, thus, can help uncover otherwise obscured parts of the universe. Many IceCube analyses study a diffuse neutrino flux—coming from all directions across…
