Description

Abstract:

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector buried deep in the ice beneath the South Pole. Since its completion in 2010, the observatory has been collecting events at a rate 300 atmospheric neutrinos per day. In recent years, IceCube has made a number of groundbreaking discoveries, including the first observation of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos as well as the discovery of the first steady source of neutrinos, NGC1068. In addition, IceCube is at the forefront of searches for physics beyond the standard model as well as the study of neutrino oscillations parameters. In this seminar I will give an overview of the latest results from IceCube, with special emphasis on the NCG1068 source, as well as the future developments and projects.

 

The seminar will be held in the conference hall in the main building of the Institute of Physics, Na Slovance 2, Prague 8 on the ground floor.
