The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, completed in 2010 and located at the geographic South Pole, is the largest neutrino telescope in the world. IceCube includes the more densely instrumented DeepCore subarray, which increases IceCube's sensitivity at neutrino energies down to 10 GeV. DeepCore has recently demonstrated sensitivity to muon neutrino disappearance from atmospheric neutrino...

61. WATCHMAN

Prof. Mark Vagins (Kavli IPMU)

WATCHMAN is a US project designed to demonstrate the feasibility of using a large gadolinium-loaded water Cherenkov detector to remotely locate clandestine nuclear reactors in uncooperative nations via their antineutrino emissions. The current status and upcoming plans for WATCHMAN in its nonproliferation role will be discussed, as well as its expected physics output.
