Description
The IceCube Neutrino Experiment is the world's largest neutrino telescope located at the geographic South Pole. IceCube has been successfully collecting neutrino data for over 15 years, including those produced by highly-energetic astrophysical sources as well as neutrinos produced in the Earth's atmosphere, useful for studies of the neutrino's fundamental properties. This Austral summer saw the expansion of IceCube including deployment of 6 new sensor strings (over 650 new devices) called the IceCube Upgrade. The Upgrade includes both enhanced calibration tools as well as next-generation sensors lowering the energy threshold, vital for studies of neutrino oscillations. This seminar will give a snapshot of the physics potential of the Upgrade as well as a first-hand overview of the Upgrade's development and construction.
