Observatoire de neutrinos IceCube
Cubic-kilometer neutrino detector embedded in Antarctic ice.
Aperçu
IceCube instruments a cubic kilometre of Antarctic ice with photomultiplier tubes that register light from neutrino interactions. It established high-energy astrophysical neutrinos as a new astronomical messenger.
