Neutrinos on Ice - Particle Physics at the South Pole with the IceCube Detector

 Ken Clark (Toronto)

For several years the IceCube detector has been taking data at the South Pole, studying many aspects of neutrino (and non-neutrino) physics. Designed to search out energetic events (of order PeV), IceCube has recently published the detection of the highest energy events ever recorded. At the same time, however, preliminary investigations are ongoing into the possible study of events with six orders of magnitude less energy. This talk will present the recent high energy results while introducing the IceCube extension DeepCore and potential further enhancement PINGU. These additions are focused on lowering the detection energy threshold and possibly determining the neutrino mass hierarchy.

Cette conférence s'adresse à tous, y compris les professeurs, les chercheurs et les étudinats des trois cycles. Le café est servi à partir de 11h30.
