With their low interactional cross-sections, neutrinos are able to escape from dense and energetic astrophysical sources. As such, neutrino telescopes afford us a unique view with which to study the most extreme astrophysical events and particles in the Universe. The impact of this unique view can be multiplied if we employ it in a 'multi-messenger astronomy' approach to studying your favourite astrophysical topic. In this session we will look to cover the following topics:
o Neutrino telescopes (existing and future)
o Multimessenger astronomy with neutrinos
o Astrophysical neutrino sources
o Theoretical modelling of neutrino sources
o Interpreting neutrino astronomy observations
o Particle astrophysics with neutrinos
P-ONE, or the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment, is a future neutrino telescope to be operative in the northern hemisphere. It will be a multi-cubic kilometre detector offshore of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and will utilize the world-leading infrastructure of Ocean Networks Canada. The first full line is set to be deployed by spring 2025 and will be followed by the demonstrator phase...
The Trinity Neutrino Observatory aims at detecting 1 PeV to 1 EeV tau neutrinos. We are developing the Trinity Observatory in three stages, of which the first stage, the Trinity Demonstrator, was deployed in Fall 2023. The Demonstrator serves as a pathfinder for the Trinity Observatory and informs the design of the first Trinity Telescope. In this talk, I discuss the status and first results...
The detection of neutrinos with energies above the TeV scale from astrophysical sources by neutrino telescopes has opened a new window for exploring the universe and testing the Standard Model at unprecedented energy scales. This talk will review recent observations from IceCube, including the detection of neutrinos from NGC 1068 and the more recent identification of neutrinos from the...
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory identifies muon neutrinos through their characteristic long tracks, produced by high-energy muons resulting from charged current (CC) interactions. Similarly, approximately 17% of tau neutrinos interacting via CC interactions produce tauons that decay into muons, also leaving long tracks. However, the energy distribution between the hadronic showers and the...
Firmly establishing the conversion of gas into stars within molecular clouds is central to understanding how galaxies build up their stellar populations. The efficiency and rate of star formation depend strongly on the properties of molecular clouds, especially their mass and density. While current models capture broad trends, many clouds within and beyond our Galaxy show deviations from the...
Super-Kamiokande observes a significant flux of upward-going high-energy muons produced by interactions of high-energy neutrinos. These neutrinos are useful for both particle physics and astrophysics, covering the energy region between accelerator-based experiments and neutrino telescopes. In this work, we utilize the upward-going high-energy muon sample to extract neutrino cross-sections in...
