Discovering the Highest Energy Astrophysical Neutrinos

Explore groundbreaking research in high-energy neutrino detection during this physics colloquium lecture from the University of Chicago's Professor Abigail Vieregg. Learn about the significant role of IceCube Observatory at the South Pole in detecting astrophysical neutrinos and identifying potential cosmic sources. Delve into cutting-edge experimental efforts utilizing coherent radio Cherenkov emission detection, including the ground-based RNO-G project in Greenland and the upcoming balloon-borne PUEO experiment scheduled for December 2025. Gain insights into Professor Vieregg's expertise in radio and millimeter wave experiments for neutrino astrophysics and cosmology, her leadership in hardware development for Antarctic neutrino detection projects, and her involvement as technical coordinator for CMB-S4, a future cosmic microwave background experiment.
