36. IceCube: Cosmic Neutrinos and Multimessenger Astronomy

FRANCIS HALZEN, Francis Halzen (University of Wisconsin-Madison)

Below the geographic South Pole, the IceCube project has transformed one cubic kilometer of natural Antarctic ice into a neutrino detector. IceCube detects more than 100,000 neutrinos per year in the GeV to 10 PeV energy range. From those, we have isolated a flux of high-energy neutrinos of cosmic origin, with an energy flux that is comparable to that of high-energy photons. We have also...

45. Highlights from the ANTARES neutrino telescope

ANTARES is a high-energy neutrino telescope running since 2007 below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea with the main aim of identifying the sources of the astrophysical neutrinos. The location of ANTARES allows for an advantageous view of the Southern Sky, in particular for neutrino energies below 100 TeV. This feature, combined with a very good angular resolution, makes the telescope an...

95. Baikal-GVD: status and first results

Dmitry Zaborov (INR (Moscow))

Baikal-GVD is a cubic kilometer neutrino detector currently under construction in Lake Baikal, Russia. We review the current status of Baikal-GVD and first results obtained using data from the partially complete instrument.

54. The Trinity VHE Neutrino Observatory

David Kieda (University of Utah)

The recent detection of potential point sources of astrophysical neutrinos by the IceCube observatory has led to renewed interest in developing next-generation techniques for very to ultra-high-energy neutrino astronomy. The Trinity Observatory, employing an optical technique for detecting tau-air showers induced by Earth-skimming PeV neutrinos, is proposed to fill in the energy gap between...

10. A very high energy neutrino telescope on-board the EUSO-SPB2 mission

Mahdi Bagheri (Georgia Institute of Technology)

11/01/2022, 18:30

We present the status of the development of a Cherenkov telescope to be flown on an ultra-long-duration balloon flight, the Extreme Universe Space Observatory Super Pressure Balloon 2 (EUSO-SPB2). EUSO-SPB2 is an approved NASA balloon mission that is planned to fly in 2023 from Wanaka, New Zealand and is a precursor for future space-based missions to detect astrophysical neutrinos. The...
