Overview talks 4: Astro-particle Physics & Cosmology
- Jan Hamann (T)
The standard hot Big Bang model predicts a thermal background of relic neutrinos with a present-day temperature of T = 1.95K. At 330 neutrinos per cubic centimetre, the shear abundance of these neutrinos means that they can exert measurable influences on the evolution of the Universe, and leave their imprints on the precision cosmological observables. In this talk, I discuss how precision...
The IceCube experiment is a Cherenkov detector instrumented over a cubic kilometer, deep under the South Pole ice. Its primary array enables the detection of high-energy neutrino emissions from astrophysical sources, while a more densely instrumented subdetector, called DeepCore, located at the bottom of the main array, focuses on the detection of neutrinos down to GeV energies, where...
