The IceCube experiment is ready to uncover more secrets of the universe
The name "IceCube" not only serves as the title of the experiment, but also describes its appearance. Embedded in the transparent ice of the South Pole, a three-dimensional grid of more than 5,000 extremely sensitive light sensors forms a giant cube with a volume of one cubic kilometer. This unique arrangement serves as an observatory for detecting neutrinos, the most difficult elementary particles to detect.
New "Eyes" in the ice of Antarctica: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole has received six new measuring strands with more than 670 new sensors. These detectors, which are embedded in the ice on kilometer-long cables, can now capture lower energies more precisely and thus find out more about their properties. But also the sources of energy-rich cosmic neutrinos can now be determined more precisely. This could bring decisive insight…
