Zoll arXiv: 1701.03731 · 2019-01-23 ## TL;DR IceCube studies cosmic rays and astrophysical neutrinos to understand their origins, using multiple detection signatures to analyze flux, spectrum, and anisotropy, providing new insights into cosmic ray propagation. ## Contribution This paper presents recent findings from IceCube data analysis, offering new constraints on the origin and properties of astrophysical neutrinos and cosmic rays. ## Key findings - Detection of astrophysical neutrinos by IceCube. - Measurements of cosmic-ray spectrum, composition, and anisotropy. - Constraints on the sources and propagation of cosmic rays. ## Abstract The core mission of the IceCube Neutrino observatory is to study the origin and propagation of cosmic rays. IceCube, with its surface component IceTop, observes multiple signatures to accomplish this mission. Most important are the astrophysical neutrinos that are produced in interactions of cosmic rays, close to their sources and in interstellar space. IceCube is the first instrument that measures the properties of this astrophysical neutrino flux, and constrains its origin. In addition, the spectrum, composition and anisotropy of the local cosmic-ray flux are obtained from measurements of atmospheric muons and showers. Here we provide an overview of recent findings from the analysis of IceCube data, and their implications on our understanding of cosmic rays. ## Full text _Full body text omitted from this summary view._ Fetch the complete paper as Markdown: https://tomesphere.com/paper/1701.03731/full.md ## Figures 30 figures with captions in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/1701.03731/full.md ## References 209 references — full list in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/1701.03731/full.md --- Source: https://tomesphere.com/paper/1701.03731
