Im Teilchenbeschleuniger Large Hadron Collider (LHC) am CERN prallen 40 Millionen Mal pro Sekunde Teilchen höchster Energie aufeinander. Meistens passiert bei diesen Kollisionen nichts Aufregendes. Wenn aber doch etwas passiert, darf man diesen Moment nicht verpassen. Am sinnvollsten wäre es, alle Kollisionen kontinuierlich aufzuzeichnen. Aber solche gigantischen Datenmengen lassen sich nicht speichern. Also muss vorher gefiltert werden – und dabei kann künstliche Intelligenz helfen. Künstliche Intelligenz kommt auch beim IceCube Neutrino Observatory am Südpol zum Einsatz. IceCube besteht aus einem Kubikkilometer Gletschereis und tausenden Lichtsensoren. Damit lassen sich tief im Eis der Antarktis die extrem schwer messbaren Neutrinos aufspüren, die uns überall aus dem Weltall erreichen. Computersimulationen und künstliche Intelligenz helfen dabei, um aus den Messdaten die Neutrino-Signale und ihre Herkunftsrichtungen herauszufiltern. Die Experten Prof. Dr. Lukas Heinrich ist Professor für Data Science in der Physik an der Technischen Universität München und leitet dort das ORIGINS Data Science Lab. Dr. Philipp Eller ist Forschungsgruppenleiter an der Technischen Universität München und analysiert die Beobachtungsdaten des IceCube Neutrino Observatory am Südpol mit Methoden wie maschinellem Lernen. Der Cluster Was ist Dunkle Materie? Woher kommen Sterne und Galaxien? Wie entstand das Leben auf der Erde und gibt es auch anderswo Leben im Weltall? Genau an diesen und anderen Fragen forscht der Exzellenzcluster ORIGINS mit über 120 Arbeitsgruppen aus den Bereichen Astro-, Bio- und Teilchenphysik. ORIGINS ist ein gemeinsames Projekt der Ludwigs-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) und der Technischen Universität München (TUM).

I first heard about the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antartica on a long kind of roundtable on all kind of strange topics with claims it can also act as mind control, earthquake manufacturing, and interstellar communications at greater than light speed. Here’s what the thing officially is according to wikipedia: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory (or simply IceCube) isContinue reading "IceCube Neutrino Observatory Non-official Informational Claims"

We usually use light to learn about the universe. However, there is an exciting new field of neutrino astronomy that uses a small particle to get information about the heart of exploding stars or the conditions near a supermassive black hole. IceCube Neutrino Observatory uses 1 cubic kilometer of ice to detect neutrinos. Recently, it found 80 neutrinos coming from the galaxy, NGC 1068 (M77) and its supermassive blackhole. Please join astrophysicist Salman Hameed in exploring the ways astronomers use neutrinos in understanding objects in the universe.For the video of this podcast: https://youtu.be/UwRp3vMmaEk

Buried under more than 2 kilometres of ice in Antarctica is an observatory unlike any other in the world. It's called the Icecube Neutrino Observatory – and no, it's not measuring melting icecaps or numbers of Antarctic wildlife. In fact, this observatory is making major discoveries about celestial bodies and space objects in our solar system and far beyond that. Dr Sophie Calabretto talks to Cosmos Magazine journalist Jacinta Bowler about what makes the Icecube Neutrino Observatory so unique, what it's looking for and what space discoveries are on the horizon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Francis Halzen is the Hilldale and Gregory Breit Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University Wisconsin-Madison and principal investigator for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, the world's largest neutrino detector, he is the Director of the Institute for Elementary Particle Physics, and the Hilldale and Gregory Breit Distinguished Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A theoretician studying problems at the interface of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology, Halzen has been working since 1987 on the AMANDA experiment, a first-generation neutrino telescope at the South Pole. AMANDA observations represent a proof of concept for IceCube. After six years of construction, IceCube became operational in 2010. IceCube searches for neutrinos from the most violent astrophysical sources: events like exploding stars, gamma ray bursts, and cataclysmic phenomena involving black holes and neutron stars. The IceCube telescope is a powerful tool to search for dark matter, and could reveal the new physical processes associated with the enigmatic origin of the highest energy particles in nature. The most important result from the IceCube was the clear break-through observation of high-energy neutrinos (about 100 times more energetic than the particles accelerated today in the world's most powerful machine, the LHC at CERN) in 2013, from as yet not identified sources outside the Galaxy. This discovery has stimulated the planning and development of even larger neutrino telescopes, both at the South Pole and deep under the ocean. https://user-web.icecube.wisc.edu/ Connect with me:

Searches for Neutrinos from LHAASO ultra-high-energy γ-ray sources using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory by R. Abbasi et al. on Tuesday 29 November Galactic PeVatrons are Galactic sources theorized to accelerate cosmic rays up to PeV in energy. The accelerated cosmic rays are expected to interact hadronically with nearby ambient gas or the interstellar medium, resulting in {gamma}-rays and neutrinos. Recently, the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) identified 12 {gamma}-ray sources with emissions above 100 TeV, making them candidates for PeV cosmic-ray accelerators (PeVatrons). While at these high energies the Klein-Nishina effect suppresses exponentially leptonic emission from Galactic sources, evidence for neutrino emission would unequivocally confirm hadronic acceleration. Here, we present the results of a search for neutrinos from these {gamma}-ray sources and stacking searches testing for excess neutrino emission from all 12 sources as well as their subcatalogs of supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae with 11 years of track events from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. No significant emissions were found. Based on the resulting limits, we place constraints on the fraction of {gamma}-ray flux originating from the hadronic processes in the Crab Nebula and LHAASOJ2226+6057. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2211.14184v1

Warnings over the world's mad dash to create new supplies of fossil fuels, discussions about climate loss and damage, and talk about nature-based solutions. COP27 in Egypt is in full swing. Our reporter Madeleine Cuff brings us the latest, direct from Sharm el Sheikh.This week's Sci-fi alert is the unusual discovery of a star with a solid surface. The team explains how on this magnetar (the dense corpse of an exploded star), gravity would be immense and time would behave really weirdly - that's if you'd be able to land on the thing. They also discuss how the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica has been able to plot the course of cosmic neutrinos back to their home galaxy.The 15th of November has been chosen by the UN to mark the point that the number of people on the planet passes 8 billion. Despite this, the team explains how the world's population isn't accelerating, and is expected to peak sometime this century - sharing surprising statistics from Japan and China.Birds that migrate long distances are more likely to break up with their partners. Usually bird species are pretty much monogamous, so the team finds out why travelling species find it harder to stay together.“May this tusk root out the lice of the hair and the beard.” The team shares news of the discovery of the oldest readable sentence written using the first alphabet.On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Penny Sarchet, Madeleine Cuff, Leah Crane and Michael Le Page.

Sergiu Pasca, Professor of Psychiatry at Stanford University has left the petri dish in the drawer and grown human neurons inside the brains of juvenile rats. Successful connectivity and brain function may allow for more rigorous testing and understanding of neurological conditions, that have until now remained difficult to localise and treat. It's been a few weeks since NASA's DART mission smashed into an asteroid in an attempt to budge it off course, kickstarting Earth's first planetary defence system. Scientists are starting to pour through the data to determine whether or not it worked. Dr Toney Minter, Head of Operations at Green Bank Observatory has been using Green Bank's radio telescope to keep us updated and track the celestial system. John Ryan, a Senior Research Specialist at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute has spent the last three years studying the distinct vocal calls of blue whales. It's part of a body of work that is unlocking the secretive existence of this endangered species, understanding how they react to the wind and search for food by navigating upwelling currents in the ocean. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live at the poles? Well, now you don't have to imagine. Celas Marie-Sainte and Moreno Baricevic share their winterover experience, gathering data at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica. Hear what their work entails and ruminate on reflections of 6 months immersed in darkness. And, One in every eight people live with a mental health disorder, so if that's not you, it's likely to be a close friend or family member. Despite there being a variety of known treatments, globally the majority of people suffering do not receive any medical support. To see how the discussion around mental health is playing out across the African continent, CrowdScience visits Nairobi, Kenya. Presenter Marnie Chesterton is joined by a live audience and panel of experts - psychiatrist David Ndetei, psychotherapist Reson Sindiyo and mental health journalist Dannish Odongo - to get to the heart of what's going on in our heads. They discuss issues from taboo and superstition around mental health, to the treatment methods being used in Kenya that the rest of the world should know about.

Constraints on populations of neutrino sources from searches in the directions of IceCube neutrino alerts by R. Abbasi et al. on Tuesday 11 October Beginning in 2016, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has sent out alerts in real time containing the information of high-energy ($E gtrsim 100$~TeV) neutrino candidate events with moderate-to-high ($gtrsim 30$%) probability of astrophysical origin. In this work, we use a recent catalog of such alert events, which, in addition to events announced in real-time, includes events that were identified retroactively, and covers the time period of 2011-2020. We also search for additional, lower-energy, neutrinos from the arrival directions of these IceCube alerts. We show how performing such an analysis can constrain the contribution of rare populations of cosmic neutrino sources to the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux. After searching for neutrino emission coincident with these alert events on various timescales, we find no significant evidence of either minute-scale or day-scale transient neutrino emission or of steady neutrino emission in the direction of these alert events. This study also shows how numerous a population of neutrino sources has to be to account for the complete astrophysical neutrino flux. Assuming sources have the same luminosity, an $E^{-2.5}$ neutrino spectrum and number densities that follow star-formation rates, the population of sources has to be more numerous than $7times 10^{-9}~textrm{Mpc}^{-3}$. This number changes to $3times 10^{-7}~textrm{Mpc}^{-3}$ if number densities instead have no cosmic evolution. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.04930v1

Searching for High-Energy Neutrino Emission from Galaxy Clusters with IceCube by R. Abbasi et al. on Monday 19 September Galaxy clusters have the potential to accelerate cosmic rays (CRs) to ultra-high energies via accretion shocks or embedded CR acceleration sites. CRs with energies below the Hillas condition will be confined within the cluster and will eventually interact with the intracluster medium (ICM) gas to produce secondary neutrinos and $gamma$ rays. Using 9.5 years of muon-neutrino track events from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, we report the results of a stacking analysis of 1094 galaxy clusters, with masses $gtrsim 10^{14}$ (textup{M}_odot) and redshifts between 0.01 and $sim$1, detected by the {it Planck} mission via the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. We find no evidence for significant neutrino emission and report upper limits on the cumulative unresolved neutrino flux from massive galaxy clusters after accounting for the completeness of the catalog up to a redshift of 2, assuming three different weighting scenarios for the stacking and three different power-law spectra. Weighting the sources according to mass and distance, we set upper limits at $90%$ confidence level that constrain the flux of neutrinos from massive galaxy clusters ($gtrsim 10^{14}$ (textup{M}_odot)) to be no more than $4.6%$ of the diffuse IceCube observations at 100~TeV, assuming an unbroken $E^{-2.5}$ power-law spectrum. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2206.02054v2

Multiwavelength search for the origin of IceCube's neutrinos by Emma Kun et al. on Sunday 11 September The origin of astrophysical high-energy neutrinos detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory remains a mystery to be solved. In this paper we search for neutrino source candidates within the $90$% containment area of $70$ track-type neutrino events recorded by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. By employing the Fermi-LAT 4FGL-DR2, the Swift-XRT 2SXPS and the CRATES catalogs, we identify possible gamma, X-ray and flat-spectrum radio candidate sources of track-type neutrinos. We find that based on the brightness of sources and their spatial correlation with the track-type IceCube neutrinos, the constructed neutrino samples represent special populations of sources taken from the full Fermi-LAT 4FGL-DR2/Swift-XRT 2SXPS/CRATES catalogs with similar significance ($2.1sigma$, $1.2sigma$, $2sigma$ at $4.8~mathrm{GHz}$, $2.1sigma$ at $8.4~mathrm{GHz}$, respectively, assuming 50% astrophysical signalness). After collecting redshifts and deriving sub-samples of the CRATES catalog complete in the redshift--luminosity plane, we find that the 4.8 GHz ($8.4$~GHz) sub-sample can explain between 4% and 53% ($3$% and $42$%) of the neutrinos (90% C.L.), when the probability to detect a neutrino is proportional to the ($k$-corrected) radio flux. The overfluctuations indicate that a part of the sample is likely to contribute and that more sophisticated schemes in the source catalog selection are necessary to identify the neutrino sources at the $5sigma$ level. Our selection serves as a starting point to further select the correct sources. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2203.14780v2

Neutrinos from near and far: Results from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory by Tianlu Yuan. on Wednesday 07 September Instrumenting a gigaton of ice at the geographic South Pole, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has been at the forefront of groundbreaking scientific discoveries over the past decade. These include the observation of a flux of TeV-PeV astrophysical neutrinos, detection of the first astrophysical neutrino on the Glashow resonance and evidence of the blazar TXS 0506+056 as the first known astronomical source of high-energy neutrinos. Several questions, however, remain, pertaining to the precise origins of astrophysical neutrinos, their production mechanisms at the source and in Earth's atmosphere and in the context of physics beyond the Standard Model. This proceeding highlights some of our latest results, from new constraints on neutrino interactions and oscillations to the latest measurements of the astrophysical neutrino flux and searches for their origins to future prospects with IceCube-Gen2. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2208.01226v3

A look at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the amazing astrophysics research taking place above and below the ice. The observatory is looking for neutrinos - enigmatic subatomic particles that permeate the universe. It involves over 300 scientists at 52 institutions in 12 countries.

We place a long-distance phone call to Antarctica to chat with Kathrin Mallot, an astrophysicist who works at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in the South Pole. In this episode, Kathrin talks about preparing for a work assignment in a super remote part of the world; practicing self-care during the punishing Antarctic winter; getting along with coworkers that you also live with in close quarters; frozen nose hairs, snacks, Internet access, and more!

Dr. Francis Halzen is a Professor of Physics at The University of Wisconsin - Madison and the principal investigator of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and earlier this year his name was attached to an incredible discovery and advancement for the field of astrophysics.  In July 2018, IceCube announced that they have traced an extremely-high-energy neutrino that hit their detector in September 2017 back to its point of origin. The specifics are mentioned in the discussion. This is the first time that a neutrino detector has been used to locate an object in space.

Neben der Vermessung der Welt durch die Beobachtung von Licht- und anderer elektromagnetischer Strahlung fügte die jüngst geglückte Messung von Gravitationswellen eine neue astronomische Disziplin dem wissenschaftlichen Werkzeugkasten hinzu. Doch auch eine weiterer Ansatz könnte das zur Verfügung stehenden Instrumentarium künftig noch erweitern: schon zwei Jahre vorher gelang es dem IceCube-Experiment am Südpol erstmalig kosmische Neutrinostrahlung nachzuweisen und wie die Gravitationswellen könnte diese Methode einen ganz neuen Blick auf das Universum eröffnen, der mit klassischen Methoden nicht möglich ist bzw. diese in Kombination noch weiter verbessern.

Stream Episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com or www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com (both mobile friendly) *Early Galaxies dominated by ordinary rather than dark matter A new study has found that early galaxies were dominated by ordinary matter rather than the dark matter which dominates galaxies today. The findings mean dark matter – which makes up around 80 percent of all the matter in the universe today – was far less influential in massive, star-forming galaxies during the peak epoch of galaxy formation, 10 billion years ago. *How ghostly neutrino particles could improve sciences understanding of the universe A new study claims one type of neutrino may comprise exactly equal amounts of two other types of neutrinos. The findings by scientists working with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole could help physicists better understand the universe. *Earth probably began with a solid shell A new study claims Earth probably began as a single solid shell which broke apart later to form the planet’s characteristic individual tectonic plates. The findings could help settle a longstanding debate about the origins of plate tectonic on Earth. *Dragon returns to Earth, concluding tenth resupply mission. The SpaceX CRS-10 Dragon cargo ship has splashed down safely in the North Pacific Ocean off the Californian coast. 320 kilometres south west of Long Beach. The capsule was loaded with over two tonnes of experiments and equipment being returned to Earth from the International Space Station. *New Telecommunications satellite launched Following an earlier delay due to high winds, SpaceX has successfully launched a new telecommunications satellite into orbit. The spectacular night time launch from space launch complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Centre at the Cape Canaveral Air Force base in Florida was the third Falcon 9 launch of the year and the second off the historic former Space Shuttle and Saturn 5 Apollo moon rocket era launch pad.

Members of the Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics hosted the 3rd morning of Theoretical Physics covering the subject of Inner Space Meets Outer Space: Covering the Connections Between Cosmology and Particle Physics

This episode covers the discovery (strictly speaking, "strong evidence") for high-energy (astrophysical) neutrinos. The discovery was announced on 22 November 2013. In this episode we talk with DESY's Markus Ackermann about the the evidence for astrophysical neutrinos and why they are important. We also discuss how the the IceCube Neutrino Observatory works, which opened up this new field of astronomy. We conclude with a brief conversation about traveling to, and living at the south pole, where IceCube is located.

The Maruyama group is exploring several topics in nuclear and particle astrophysics. The experiments range from studying properties of neutrinos to a search for dark matter. We are searching for annual modulation signature from dark matter with the DM-Ice experiment, currently running a 17 kg version at the South Pole, with a 250 kg experiment currently being designed. We are also using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory to study fundamental properties of neutrinos using nearby supernovae. With CUORE, we are looking for a process called neutrinoless double beta decay. If such a process is observed, it would mean that neutrinos are their own antiparticles, and may hold the clue to why we live in a Universe of matter, and not antimatter. The experiment is located in the Gran Sasso National Underground Laboratory in Italy. Presented April 13, 2012
