Adventures in Antarctic Computing, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Neutrino.
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 complex...

The Web extra at http://youtu.be/ht0e6m6lpz0 is a video simulation of a visualization of the highest energy neutrino ever detected. The 2-PeV neutrino event was detected on Tuesday, 4 December 2012, by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a particle-detector telescope buried 1,500 meters deep in the ice at the South Pole. The neutrino was dubbed "Big Bird." pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2014 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
