Prof. Naoko Kurahashi-Neilson, (Drexel) Detecting Cosmic Neutrinos with IceCub
February 18, 3:15pm - 4:45pmMānoa Campus, Watanabe 112
The universe has been studied using light since the dawn of astronomy, when starlight captured the human eye. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory views the universe in a different and unique way -- in high-energy neutrinos. IceCube's discovery of a diffuse flux of astrophysical neutrinos, i.e., the universe's glow in neutrinos from beyond the solar system, marks the start of a new era of neutrino astronomy. After motivating why neutrinos are a necessary messenger in high-energy astronomy, we will discuss the various diffuse flux analyses in IceCube that observe the astrophysical flux, and what each can tell us. We will then turn to spatial analyses that aim to identify the sources of such astrophysical neutrinos and follow up with an attempt to reconcile all results to draw a coherent picture that is the state of neutrino astronomy.
