The IceCube Neutrino Detector at the South Pole Hits Paydirt
Recovering astroparticle physics PhD here.<p>I read this news with great interest because I thought they might have finally detected the flux of neutrinos predicted by the GZK process[1]. But, this can't be the case because 1) 10^14 eV is probably on the low side for GZK neutrinos, and (more importantly!) 2) that flux would be fairly isotropic, and not from  point source.<p>But still! Exciting results! IceCube is an ambitious and wonderful detector and I'm always pleased to see it in the news.<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greisen%E2%80%93Zatsepin%E2%80%93Kuzmin_limit" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greisen%E2%80%93Zatsepin%E2%80...</a>
