The University of Utah is hosting the IceCube Neutrino Telescope Collaboration Meeting from October 6–10, 2025.
Using the Antarctic ice at the geographic South Pole as a detection medium, this novel telescope observes the Universe in fundamentally new ways, uncovering the secrets of supermassive black holes, the most energetic processes in the cosmos, and the nature of dark matter.
On the evening of October 8, we will host a special Q&A session with two IceCube winterovers, Kalvin Moschkau and Connor Duffy, who spent a year in Antarctica operating the instrument. The event will also feature the U.S. premiere of Messengers, a film about scientific endeavors at the South Pole, with director Jeffrey Zablotny in attendance.
Prof. Dan Hooper, Director of the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center, and Prof. Carsten Rott, Jack W. Keuffel Chair and Chair of the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Utah, will be available for questions.
The event will take place on Oct 8th at 7pm at the Katherine W. and Ezekiel R. Dumke Jr. Auditorium @ the University of Utah. This event is free to the public and everybody is invited to attend.
