ALTO is a wide field-of-view air shower detector array proposed for very-high-energy
gamma-ray astronomy in the Southern Hemisphere. It will be a hybrid detector array
consisting of around a thousand detector units (each unit comprises of a water
Cherenkov detector and a scintillation detector) which will detect air showers induced
by very-high-energy gamma rays (above ~200 GeV) in the...

The IceCube experiment is a cubic-kilometer-scale neutrino observatory that uses
photosensors embedded in the ice near the South Pole. IceCube was built primarily to
search for astrophysical neutrinos originating from some of the most energetic
processes in the Universe. In 2013, IceCube conclusively showed the detection of
astrophysical neutrinos, however the hunt for a specific...

Searching for a difference between neutrino and anti-neutrino oscillations may open
the way towards new fundamental physics and an explanation of why the world is made
of only matter and no anti-matter. To discover such a difference, the development of
a very large neutrino detector and a uniquely high-intensity neutrino beam is needed.
The same detector will make possible investigations...
