Title: Neutrino astronomy at the energy frontier
Abstract: The origin of ultra-high-energy particles is one of the great mysteries of astroparticle physics. We know little about the sources and acceleration mechanisms of observed particles reaching energies vastly above what state-of-the-art accelerators on Earth can achieve. After centuries of conventional astronomy using electromagnetic waves, recent observations of high-energy neutrinos have opened a new window into the Universe. These measurements, predominantly done by the IceCube experiment, have given us a glimpse of potential high-energy particle sources and might be the stepping stone to better understanding the most extreme particle accelerators in the Universe. We are rapidly entering a new multi-messenger era in astroparticle physics, in which observations from different messenger particles will try to complement the picture of high-energy cosmic particles and their sources. Future deep-ocean detectors will support this effort by providing new, cutting-edge astroparticle physics observations. In this talk, I will discuss high-energy neutrino astronomy and my research on the neutrino energy frontier using large-volume detectors, their calibration, and future experiments.
