IceCube: New Directions in Astronomy and Particle Physics
Abstract
The opening of new parts of the electromagnetic spectrum for astronomical observation has often led to both the resolution of existing scientific puzzles and unexpected discoveries that create
new puzzles. The next decade will see astronomy extended beyond the electromagnetic spectrum as new facilities make neutrino, proton, and gravitational wave astronomy possible. The IceCube neutrino observatory, currently under construction at the South Pole, will use high-energy neutrinos to elucidate the origin of the highest energy cosmic rays and probe the most extreme astrophysical accelerators. Conversely, IceCube may lead to fundamental insights at the microscopic scale including the nature of dark matter, the structure of the nucleon at length scales below that accessible by accelerators, and particle physics beyond the standard model. In this talk I will highlight some aspects of the IceCube science
program that I find most compelling and discuss how IceCube can complement other new scientific facilities.
