Atmospheric neutrino detection at IceCube
Lead Research Organisation:
Queen Mary University of London
Department Name: Physics
Abstract
The IceCube neutrino observatory is located at the South Pole, Antarctica.
Using the data from IceCube, Shivesh is look for the distribution of atmospheric,
and astrophysical neutrino induced muons at the South Pole.

| PI Contribution | My supervisor and I are corresponding authors in the paper "Neutrino Interferometry for High-Precision Tests of Lorentz Symmetry with IceCube". My supervisor and I made major contributions to this paper, and were one of the main analysers in this work. My supervisor is one of the world experts on the topic of Lorentz violation and his input was needed from the very conception of the idea for this paper, to overseeing the analysis as it was being done, to writing up the final publication. We were responsible for running the analysis chain and producing the final results figures which go into the paper and writing up the final paper. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The MIT group was responsible for being the main PI contact to the IceCube collaboration. They were also the ones who developed and tested the entire analysis software and were responsible in almost all aspects of the paper, from producing figures to writing up. The WIPAC group made contributions in terms of technical expertise on the field of astroparticle physics and also provided us with the CPU cluster which was used extensively in the processing of the data. |
| Impact | The paper has been published in Nature Physics https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-018-0172-2 |
