The cubic-kilometer sized IceCube neutrino observatory, constructed in the glacial ice
at the South
Pole, offers new opportunities for neutrino physics to reach lower neutrino energies
with its in-fill array
“DeepCore”. A set of analysis techniques where the outer layers of IceCube are used
as a veto makes it
possible to reject atmospheric muons and thereby allows low-energy neutrino...

Jet reheating via nuclear collisions has recently been proposed as the main
mechanism for gamma-ray burst (GRB) emission. In addition to producing the
observed gamma rays, collisional heating must generate 10–100 GeV neutrinos,
implying a close relation between the neutrino and gamma-ray luminosities. We
exploit this theoretical relation to make predictions for possible GRB detections...

The determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy is among the most fundamental
questions in particle physics.
The recent measurement of a large mixing angle between the first and the third
neutrino mass eigenstate and the first observation of atmospheric neutrino
oscillations at tens of GeV with neutrino telescopes opens the intriguing new
possibility to exploit matter effects in neutrino...
