Searching for New Physics with High-Energy Atmospheric and Cosmic Neutrinos with Carlos Argüelles-Delgado

High-energy neutrinos produced in collisions of protons in the atmosphere or near the vicinity of black holes bring unique opportunities to probe fundamental physics. The unprecedented energy ranges and distance traversed by these neutrinos have enabled the IceCube Neutrino Observatory to search for low-energy signatures of quantum gravity and new neutrino phenomena. In this Colloquia, I will show the latest results for searches for high-energy neutrinos using IceCube and KM3NeT, a new neutrino detector being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, I will discuss how ultra-high-energy neutrino physics is expected to grow over the next decade and the development of a new neutrino telescope called TAMBO.
