Speaker: Joanna Kiryluk, Dept of Physics and Astronomy Topic: Ice Fishing for Cosmic Neutrinos IceCube is a one cubic kilometer telescope, buried deep in the ice at the South Pole. With this unique instrument, IceCube physicists search for neutrinos, elusive sub-atomic particles, from the most violent astrophysical sources: events like exploding stars, gamma ray bursts, and other phenomena that accelerate particles to ultra-high energies.
