Title: Highlights from IceCube

Speaker: Dr. Mohamed Rameez, University of Copenhagen

Abstract: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is located at the geographic South Pole and consists of over 5000 optical sensors embedded in the Antarctic ice along with a surface array that serves as a Cosmic Ray detector and veto layer. IceCube was designed to detect high energy neutrinos from extreme astrophysical environments which are potential cosmic ray acceleration sites, such as active galactic nuclei, gamma ray bursts and supernova remnants. A more densely instrumented infill array named DeepCore lowers the energy threshold and extends the science potential to dark matter searches and the study of atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The discovery of astrophysical neutrinos by IceCube in 2013 heralded the beginning of neutrino astronomy. This talk will explore the properties and potential sources of this flux, as well as their multi-messenger counterparts. Recent results from Dark Matter searches as well as neutrino oscillation measurements will also be discussed.
