First evidence for astrophysical neutrinos
22/11/13 09:36 Filed in: IceCube
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a particle detector buried in the Antarctic ice, is a demonstration of the power of the human passion for discovery, where scientific ingenuity meets technological innovation. Today, nearly 25 years after the pioneering idea of detecting neutrinos in ice, the IceCube Collaboration announces the observation of 28 very high-energy particle events that constitute the first solid evidence for astrophysical neutrinos from cosmic accelerators.

Les neutrinos qui venaient du froid
Un gigantesque détecteur enfoui dans les glaces du pôle Sud fait la chasse aux particules les plus fantomatiques que l’on connaisse, les neutrinos, dont certains viennent du fin fond de l’univers. Teresa Montaruli, professeure récemment arrivée à Genève, participe à ce projet baptisé IceCube Read More...
