Open talk for physics position candidate
"IceCube Observatory and Galactic Cosmic Ray Anisotropy" a talk by physics position candidate, Rasha Abbasi from the University
of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Physics, will be held Wednesday, May 9, from 1:30-2:30 p.m. In 152 CSH. All are welcome. Abstract: The
IceCube Neutrino Telescope at the geographic South Pole was completed at the end of 2010 after eight construction seasons. The detector consists of 86 cable strings each with 60 digital optical modules that view a cubic kilometer of ice between 1450 and 2450
meters below the glacial surface. IceCube is a neutrino detector, but the data are dominated by a large background of
cosmic ray muons. Therefore, the background data are suitable for high-statistics studies of cosmic rays. In this talk I will overview on the discoveries of the puzzling
patterns in the arrival direction of cosmic rays in the southern sky using the IceCube detector. Contact the Physics Department at 3235.
Wednesday, May 9, 3-4 p.m., upper level breezeway, Davee Library,
Lion’s Paw Book Club meeting. Discussion of "Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War" by Tony Horwitz. The discussion leader is Tim Ericson, retired director of the UWRF Archives and Area Research Center. All are welcome. This
