The IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica is a versatile instrument in neutrino astronomy and particle physics. Over 5000 optical modules fill a volume of a cubic kilometer of ice. When a charged neutrino-secondary passes through the detector Cherenkov light is emitted that is picked up by the optical modules. Even exotic particles predicted beyond the Standard Model of particle physics...
This is the first-ever search for Long-Lived Particles (LLPs) produced by atmospheric muons at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a state-of-the-art neutrino telescope located 2 km below the South Pole ice. IceCube’s kilometer-scale detector, optimized for astrophysical neutrino detection, also provides an opportunity for particle physics searches for unique signatures in an unexplored energy...
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are compelling sites for high-energy neutrino production, yet the balance between light-meson ($\pi, K$) and charm-hadron channels in dense, magnetised environments remains unresolved. We present a simulation-driven framework that couples a version of CRPropa designed for the AGN / jet environment and a Hadronic Interaction Module for $pp$ interactions with...
