Quoting: STAX A NASA team was using a giant balloon to carry electronic antennas into the sky above the frozen wastes of Antarctica when they encountered a “wind” of particles from outer space that were “a million times more powerful” than anything they had seen before, the news outlet reported. Low-energy particles have the ability to pass through Earth without any interaction, but higher-energy particles are stopped by the solid matter of Earth, the report stated. High-energy particles are only detected if they are coming “down” from Earth, but NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna detected the particles traveling “up.” MORE: [link to whdh.com (secure)] UH professor’s Antarctica discovery may herald new model of physics: [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] Video transcript: Narrator: In an event that challenges conventional physics, a radio burst from an upside-down cosmic ray shower has been detected for the second time by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna or ANITA. The University of Hawaii's Peter Gorham is part of the team that made this puzzling discovery. His findings were recently published in Physical Review Letters. Peter Gorham: What we saw is something that looked just like a cosmic ray as seen in reflection off the ice sheet, but it wasn't reflected. It was as if the cosmic ray had come out of the ice itself. A very strange thing. So we published a paper on that, where we just suggested that this was in pretty strong tension with the Standard Model of Physics. Narrator: This event has captured the imagination of physicists and physics buffs around the world. While there is a need to collect more data, the challenge to conventional wisdom is tantalizing. Gorham: It could indicate that we're actually seeing a new class of sub-atomic particle that's very penetrating, even more penetrating than a neutrino, which is pretty hard to do. This particle would be passing through almost the entire Earth. So this could be an indication of some new type of physics, what we call ‘Beyond the Standard Model of Physics’. As physicists we’re often, like many other scientific fields, we tend to go and look under the streetlights that are already on when we're trying to search for answers or greater understanding, but when you do a new experiment something completely different like ANITA, very often you can turn on some brand-new streetlights out there in the dark wilderness, and it gives us a chance to look for new types of models and theories and evidence in places that we never got to look before. the day they confirm Earth as a star :-) |

IceCube: Antarctic neutrino detector to get $37 million upgrade IceCube, the Antarctic neutrino detector that in July of 2018 helped unravel one of the oldest riddles in physics and astronomy — the origin of high-energy neutrinos and cosmic rays — is getting an upgrade. This month, the National Science Foundation (NSF) approved $23 million in funding to expand the detector and its scientific capabilities. Seven new strings of optical modules will be added to the 86 existing strings, adding more than 700 new, enhanced optical modules to the 5,160 sensors already embedded in the ice beneath the geographic South Pole. The upgrade, to be installed during the 2022–23 polar season, will receive additional support from international partners in Japan and Germany as well as from Michigan State University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Total new investment in the detector will be about $37 million. “Neutrinos are the last unexplored corner of the Standard Model of physics,” explains Kael Hanson, director of the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center, referencing the best available scientific model to explain the behavior of subatomic particles. “Neutrinos have properties the Standard Model can’t account for.” The principal goal of the upgrade, explains Hanson, a UW–Madison professor of physics, is to expand the cubic-kilometer detector in a way that permits more precise studies of the oscillation properties of neutrinos, which as they interact with other particles and transit space can change or oscillate from one type of neutrino to another. A second goal is to better characterize the ice around IceCube sensors and thereby obtain better performance with the existing detector, thus yielding more definitive reconstructions of high-energy neutrinos. In addition, a better understanding of the ice that surrounds the neutrino detector will help bring the neutrino sky into crisper focus, providing opportunities to discover additional sources of high-energy neutrinos and improving scientists’ ability to gather more insight into those sources. The new strings will be deployed below the center of the existing detector, a mile deep in the Antarctic ice. The deep ice in and around the detector is known to be some of the world’s clearest, which makes it a nearly ideal medium in which to study the properties of neutrinos, sometimes called “ghost particles” for their ability to breeze through planets and entire galaxies without missing a beat. When neutrinos interact with other particles in or near the detector, they transform into secondary particles such as muons, which give off light that can be sensed by the detector to trace the trajectories of the parent neutrino.

The very high-energy neutrino that was captured by IceCube in September 2017 was critical for resolving where cosmic neutrinos — those created in accelerators like massive black holes — come from. But other low-energy neutrinos such as those created when subatomic particles collide in Earth’s atmosphere likely hold clues to how the particles change from one kind to another, says Hanson, and the IceCube Upgrade is intended to capture that kind of physics. Scientists know there are at least three kinds of neutrinos: tau, muon and electron. They can change from one to another and the changes have known patterns linked to the energy of the neutrinos, their masses, and how far they have traveled in space. A “sweet spot” for observing neutrino oscillations, according to Hanson, is when muon neutrinos are created in the atmosphere by a cosmic ray interaction with the nucleus of an atom. As the muon neutrino travels through the Earth, it can oscillate into a tau neutrino. “We can use neutrinos from the atmosphere,” he says. “They are almost perfect for understanding these changes. They change from one type of particle to another, but we don’t know enough about this morphing.” Understanding how neutrinos change from one to another will help refine the Standard Model, or show scientists why the model, which over time has withstood many experimental and observational tests, may need to be revised to account for new physics. The planned additional IceCube arrays will have two different types of new sensor modules, which will be tested as candidates for an even larger future upgrade of IceCube known as IceCube-Gen2. “The modules to be deployed in the new upgrade will be two to three times more sensitive than the sensors that now make up the detector,” notes Hanson. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is located at NSF’s Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. Management and operation of the observatory is through the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center at UW–Madison. SOURCE: [link to wipac.wisc.edu (secure)] |
