IceCube discovers neutrinos from the Milky Way

galaxy on the basis of neutrinos. It was only by applying machine learning methods developed at TU Dortmund University that the breakthrough finally came. These made it far easier to identify the cascades [...] Collaboration was one of the lead analysts for this dataset and is completing his doctoral degree at TU Dortmund University. The dataset used in the study comprised about 60,000 neutrinos from ten years of IceCube [...] learning methods in basic research,” says Wolfgang Rhode, Professor of Astroparticle Physics at TU Dortmund University, IceCube member and supervisor of Mirco Hünnefeld’s doctoral thesis.
