IceCube--a neutrino telescope that encompasses a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice at the South Pole, collecting and processing data from 5,160 optical sensors buried a mile deep in the icecap--presents considerable challenges, from overcoming power and bandwidth limitations to simulating the complexities of Antarctic ice, which continue to stretch computing technology.

Radio emission from the extensive air showers (EASs), initiated by ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays, was theoretically suggested over 50 years ago. However, due to technical limitations, successful collection of sufficient statistics can take several years. Nowadays, this detection technique is used in many experiments consisting in studying EAS. One of them is the Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA),...
Neutrinos are nearly massless, weakly interacting particles that come from a variety of sources including the sun, radioactive decay and cosmic rays. Neutrinos are unique cosmic messengers that provide new ways to explore the Universe as well as opportunities to better understand the basic building blocks of matter. IceCube, the largest operating neutrino detector in the world, is located in the ice...
