  • Inside the IceCube Laboratory at the South Pole.  There are over 5400 sensors in total looking for light stemming from high-energy particles created from cosmic ray or neutrino interactions.  Some of the cables, one for each light sensor, that feed data to a central computer are visible in this picture.  The IceCube observatory is remarkably robust, taking data with 99.9% uptime.  Occasionally, something does need maintenance or repair.  That means a trip of about 800 meters from the station to the IceCube Laboratory to track down the component that needs attention.

  • Computers inside the IceCube laboratory constantly monitor the messages from the DOM light sensors.  When predefined conditions indicate a passing particle has been detected, the data are stored.  This happens almost 3000 times per second.  Once or twice a month, a very high energy neutrino event is seen.  Within a minute , an alert is sent to world-wide observatories so they can detect exotic astrophysical objects in flaring or otherwise active states. This happened on September 17, 2017, with the blazar TXS0506+056.
