IceCube

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a particle detector at the South Pole that records the interactions of a nearly massless subatomic particle called the neutrino. IceCube searches for neutrinos from the most violent astrophysical sources: events like exploding stars, gamma-ray bursts, and cataclysmic phenomena involving black holes and neutron stars.

ARA

The Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) is a radio detector array, currently under development at the South Pole, designed for the detection of ultrahigh-energy cosmic neutrinos. The goal is to detect the cosmogenic neutrino flux at energies above 10¹⁷ eV.

HAWC

The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) experiment in Mexico is a new initiative at the crossroads between particle physics and astronomy. Its main goal is to survey the northern sky for steady and transient sources of high-energy gamma rays and thereby help discover the sources of Galactic and extragalactic cosmic rays.

DM-Ice

Dark Matter-Ice (DM-Ice) is searching for dark matter in the Southern Hemisphere. The goal is to perform a search for dark matter using the time variation resulting from the motion of the detector relative to the dark matter halo as a signature. If confirmed, the observation would revolutionize our understanding of particle physics and cosmology.
