Overview
This course aims to introduce learners to the field of cosmic neutrino astrophysics and the detection of high-energy neutrinos using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. By the end of the course, students will understand the significance of astrophysical neutrinos, differentiate between neutrinos and muons, and grasp the basics of neutrino astronomy. The teaching method involves a presentation on the theoretical background, observational techniques, and recent discoveries in the field. This course is intended for individuals interested in astrophysics, particle physics, or astronomy, seeking to explore the frontier of neutrino detection and its implications for our understanding of the cosmos.
