Welcome address and handover of the “TUM Distinguished Affiliated Professor” certificate to Prof. Francis Halzen, University of Wisconsin, Madison by TUM Vice President Prof. Thomas Hofmann
11:45–12:30
Talk by Prof. Francis Halzen on “IceCube: Particle Astrophysics with High Energy Neutrinos”
Construction and commissioning of the cubic-kilometer IceCube neutrino detector and its low energy extension DeepCore have been completed. The instrument detects neutrinos over a wide energy range: from 10 GeV atmospheric neutrinos to 1010 GeV cosmogenic neutrinos. We will discuss initial results based on a subsample of the ~100,000 neutrino events recorded during construction. We will emphasize the first measurement of the high- energy atmospheric neutrino spectrum, the search for the still enigmatic sources of the Galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays and for the particle nature of dark matter.
12:30–13:30
Reception (IAS Faculty Club, 4th floor)
