• Resumen

  • The article focuses on the IceCube (IC) neutrino-hunting particle detector located at the South Pole. It states IC has discovered dozens of higher energy neutrinos which likely originated in extreme cosmic events. It mentions IC looks for Cherenkov radiation caused when neutrinos interact with atoms in the ice and comments IC focuses on muon neutrinos and Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin neutrinos. It comments on methods of differentiating solar neutrinos from cosmic neutrinos.
