A recent work by Markus Ahlers, a John Bahcall fellow at WIPAC, has shown that fluctuations in the cosmic-ray dipole anisotropy can be understood once the local magnetic field and the presence of local CR sources are taken into account.

If learning that you can turn your smart phone into a cosmic-ray telescope was astonishing, you will be now stunned to read how you can use cosmic particles to peek into your phone and measure one of its components.

The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) is designed to study the sky in TeV gamma rays and observe the most energetic objects in the known universe. Due to its size and location, the observatory will also observe millions of cosmic rays every day, allowing for very precise measurements of the cosmic-ray anisotropy.

A search for neutrino interactions inside IceCube brought evidence of an extraterrestrial neutrino flux. Now the IceCube Collaboration has expanded the search, lowering the range of deposited energy down to 1 TeV.

High on a sleeping Mexican volcano, a new particle astrophysics observatory is about to blink to life, commencing an all-sky search for very high energy gamma rays — a search that could greatly expand the catalog of known gamma ray sources and chip away at the mystery of the cosmic rays that constantly bombard our planet.

How is it possible to distinguish a neutrino produced by the interaction of cosmic rays in the Earth’s atmosphere from an astrophysical neutrino when the particles themselves are identical? The idea is simple enough: atmospheric neutrinos are always produced together with other particles, including muons.

The ARA Collaboration announces today the first results using data taken during 10 months in 2013. Researchers performed a search for UHE neutrinos that resulted in no neutrino candidates but allows setting a neutrino flux limit in the energy range where most UHE neutrinos are expected to be observed.

Not everyone begins a new year on January 1, right? That includes IceCubers, who decided a while ago that mid-May would be a good time to start a new year of data for the South Pole neutrino observatory.
