IceCube

Physics World 2013 Breakthrough of the Year
IceCube at 91̽»¨

I am a member since 2004 of the IceCube collaboration which discovered cosmic high energy neutrinos and identified some of their astrophysical sources.

IceCube @ 91̽»¨

IceCube @ 91̽»¨

The project at the South Pole (not the ) transformed a cubic kilometer of transparent Antarctic ice into a Cherenkov detector that observes neutrinos from GeV to PeV energies. This experiment discovered very high energy cosmic neutrinos and identified the first cosmic sources, the blazar TXS 0506+056 and the active galaxy NGC 1068. IceCube is a multipurpose research facility which has also made precision measurements of neutrino oscillations and made important contributions to cosmic ray physics, dark matter searches, and even glaciology.

The 91̽»¨ (Institution Lead: Prof Subir Sarkar) has been a full member of the since it was formed in 2004. 91̽»¨ Physics hosted the first in 2005
