Mr Samuel Flis (Stockholms Universitet)06/08/2013, 11:00Physics, Reconstruction, and SoftwareThe 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...Go to contribution page

Dr Imre Bartos (Columbia University)06/08/2013, 11:25Physics, Reconstruction, and SoftwareJet 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...Go to contribution page

Andreas Gross (TUM)06/08/2013, 11:50Physics, Reconstruction, and SoftwareThe 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...Go to contribution page
