Astroparticle Physics

The KU Astroparticle Physics Program was launched in the early 1990's following Frichter, McKay and Ralston's seminal work on in-ice radiofrequency (RF) neutrino detection FMR, which laid the groundwork for the South Polar RICE experiment RICE06. With our collaborators at the University of Delaware and also the University of Canterbury (Christchurch, NZ)) that experiment first established the feasibility of long wavelength in-ice particle shower detection. Since then, radio-frequency detection of neutrinos, and ultra-high energy cosmic rays in general, has developed into an active, and still growing astroparticle physics sub-discipline.
