We have studied the low energy atmospheric neutrino and atmospheric
muon to improve the precision of the atmospheric neutrino flux prediction
at low energies by the comparison of observed and calculated muon fluxes.
We find the study using the muon flux observed at ~4,000 m A.S.L. is most
effective to improve the precision of the low energy atmospheric neutrino
flux prediction.

The IceCube neutrino observitory is a cubic km neutrino telescope located at the geographic South Pole. DeepCore is an infill array of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and enables observations of atmospheric neutrinos with energies as low as 5 GeV. These lower energy atmospheric neutrinos allow for a broad range of particle physics including the measurement of standard neutrino oscillations. ...

Since 2010 DeepCore, the more densely instrumented portion of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory array, has been detecting atmospheric neutrino interactions via Cherenkov radiation in the optically clear, deep ice at the South Pole. Analysing only three years of data has yielded the most precise measurements of the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters above 5 GeV. Measuring oscillations...

While the Standard Model has experienced great predictive success, the neutrino sector still holds opportunities for surprises. Numerous ongoing and planned experiments exist to probe neutrino properties at low energies. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, comprised of over 5000 photomultiplier tubes (PMT) situated in a cubic-kilometer of ice at the geographic South Pole, lies in a unique...

In September 2017, IceCube observed a high energy neutrino event in spatial coincidence with a known blazar that was undergoing an episode of enhanced gamma-ray emission monitored by Fermi. Additionally, analysis of archival neutrino data found an approximately 6-month-long period of neutrino excess between September 2014 and March 2015, while the gamma-ray flux remained low. Taken together,...
