SO(IFT) Research Associate Carlos Argüelles-Delgado is visiting us

Carlos Argüelles-Delgado from Harvard University is visiting the IFT for the period November 21st to December 16th, 2022.

Argüelles-Delgado is a neutrino physicist. His work explores properties of neutrinos using data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. 

The IceCube detector is buried in the Antarctic continent glacier, close to the geographic South Pole. IceCube observes neutrinos that are up to six orders of magnitude higher in energy than those produced at accelerators today. Most of these neutrinos are produced in the collision of cosmic-rays with the Earth atmosphere, while the rarest of them are neutrinos of cosmic-origin that come from some of the most extreme environments in the Universe. Argüelles develops new techniques to study these neutrinos and characterize them in order to search for new neutrino physics and understand the origin of the high-energy astrophysical neutrino flux.
