Joe Spins the Globe | The IceCube Neutrino Observatory - High-energy physics at the South Pole! @JoeSpinstheGlobe | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
What are neutrinos? How do we detect them and study them? Why is there a giant detector at the South Pole, Antarctica?
Join me on a tour through the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station, and along the way I'll explain the basics of neutrinos, and follow a neutrino from its creation to its detection at IceCube.
IceCube is supported by the National Science Foundation and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

0:45 - The Digital Optical Module (DOM)
1:37 - The DOM Array
2:01 - What are neutrinos?
3:02 - Where do neutrinos come from?
4:14 - How the observatory registers a "hit" from a neutrino
5:13 Tour of the IceCube Laboratory
