Abstract:
The quest for the sources of the highest energy cosmic radiation is closely connected with the search for the production sites of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, generated in cosmic ray interactions. In this pursuit, the IceCube Neutrino Observatory has been playing a leading role for over a decade, from the detection of hundreds of astrophysical neutrinos with energies reaching above the PeV, which marked the birth of high-energy neutrino astrophysics, to the identification of the blazar…
