The project recently discovered a flux of neutrinos reaching us from the cosmos,with energies more than a million times those of the neutrinos produced at accelerator laboratories. These neutrinos are astronomical messengers from some of the most violent processes in the universe associated with starbursts, giant black holes gobbling up stars in the heart of quasars and gamma-ray bursts, the biggest explosions since the Big Bang. We will discuss the IceCube telescope and highlight its first scientific results.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Francis Halzen on the IceCube project\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Francis Halzen on the IceCube project"}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2016-08-10 11:54:29","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:15:10","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-09-12T19:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2016-09-12T20:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-09-12T20:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-09-12 23:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-09-13 00:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-09-13 00:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"261791":{"id":"261791","type":"image","title":"IceCube Observatory","body":null,"created":"1449243999","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 15:46:39","changed":"1475894948","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:49:08","alt":"IceCube Observatory","file":{"fid":"198404","name":"icl_lindstrom.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/icl_lindstrom_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/icl_lindstrom_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":2668299,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/icl_lindstrom_0.jpg?itok=-6Q3SUg1"}}},"media_ids":["261791"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/icecube.wisc.edu\/~halzen\/","title":"Dr. Francis Halzen"},{"url":"http:\/\/icecube.wisc.edu\/","title":"IceCube Neutrino Observatory"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"},{"id":"1278","name":"College of Sciences"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cspan\u003EDione Morton\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:dione.morton@physics.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Edione.morton@physics.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
