Comparing Seasonal Variations of Atmospheric Muons in Deep Underground Detectors

Semester: Spring 2026


Presentation description

Cosmic rays are extremely energetic particles that constantly hit Earth's atmosphere. When they do, they create "extensive air showers", which are cascades of particles, including muons. Muons can reach deep underground, where scientists can detect and study them. My research focuses on understanding these seasonal changes in the atmospheric muon flux, especially at the South Pole, using data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory (IceCube).
