"Expanding IceCube and Building a Revolutionary Muon Collider: U.S. Particle Physics Roadmap Approved"
Scientists are recommending that the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica be expanded to eight times its current size, in order to improve the detection and analysis of neutrinos. The expansion, known as ICECube-Gen2, is part of a series of recommendations made by the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) to advance astrophysics and particle physics research. The panel also recommended support for other experiments and projects, including the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and the development of next-generation telescopes. The recommendations are currently being reviewed by the U.S. Department of Energy.
