    The 2026 TeV Particle Astrophysics conference is now underway in Tendo, Japan! 🗾 This is a leading international conference focused on recent developments in astroparticle physics, where researchers can present their latest findings. 📸: Ignacio Taboada, Colton Hill #TeVPA26

    🔔📜 IceCube paper submitted to PRD! Our projected sensitivities of the recently completed IceCube Upgrade show it will achieve an order-of-magnitude improvement in sensitivity at lower energies for transient sources across short timescales. Story ➡️ icecube.wisc.edu/news/research/…
    Comparison of projected sensitivities with (red) and without (blue) the IceCube Upgrade, along with published best-fit fluxes for NGC 1068 (black) and the Galactic plane (π0 template, orange). The Galactic plane flux is spatially integrated over the entire π0 template. The sensitivity values correspond to the performance after four years of IceCube Upgrade operation.

    📍Look at all that food! For community cook day, the science group prepared lunch for the station, giving the galley staff a much-needed break. 🥦 🍗 🍚 Read about week 34 ➡️ icecube.wisc.edu/news/life-at-t… 📸: Alicia Fattorini, IceCube/NSF #WeekAtThePole #IceCubeNeutrinoObservatory
