Since its completion in 2011, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has opened a new window on the extreme Universe. Building on its success in multi-messenger astronomy and particle physics, the collaboration is now pursuing a major extension: the IceCube-Gen2 facility. IceCube-Gen2 will be a unique wide-band neutrino observatory (MeV-EeV) that employs two

The IceCube detector allows for the first time a measurement of atmospheric muon and neutrino energy spectra from tens of GeV up to the PeV range. The lepton flux in the highest energy region depends on both the primary cosmic ray composition around the "knee" and the contribution from prompt decays of mostly charmed hadrons produced in air showers. It

Abstract Dielectric anisotropy in ice alters the propagation of polarized radio waves, so polarimetric radar sounding can be used to survey anisotropic properties of ice masses. Ice anisotropy is either intrinsic, associated with ice‐crystal orientation fabric (COF), or extrinsic, associated with material heterogeneity, such as bubbles, fractures, and ...

What's Next for Snow: Insights From the NASA Terrestrial Hydrology Program Community Snow Meeting
Abstract Earth's snow cover strongly influences the climate system and represents an important resource for agricultural, industrial, and domestic water use. The last decade of snow‐focused research has improved our understanding of snow across scales. These efforts have culminated in new snow measurement instruments and methods, operational models for

Impairments on the Construction of a Cosmic Neutrino Detector in a Romanian Salt Mine
The modulus of the transfer function of an antenna when boreholed in salt. With red are represented results from the Targu Ocna salt mine and with black‐from Slanic salt mine ABSTRACT Indirect cosmic neutrino detectors utilize dense media to enhance the likelihood of neutrino interactions within the detection volume.

The Cosmic-Ray Knee as a Local Signature of Nearby PeVatrons
A “knee” in the cosmic-ray spectrum, characterized by a sudden steepening of the spectral shape at ∼4 PeV, may be interpreted either as a global feature of Galactic cosmic rays or as a local signature.

Combined search for dark matter from the Galactic Centre with the ANTARES and IceCube neutrino telescopes [PDF]
The ANTARES and IceCube neutrino telescopes have independently searched for neutrinos from dark matter pair-annihilation in the Galactic Centre, and placed limits on the velocity-averaged WIMP annihilation crosssection 〈σν〉.
