Description
Neutrinos can escape dense environments, otherwise opaque to photons, and travel cosmic distances unscathed by background radiation or magnetic fields. They are ideal cosmic messengers and present a unique insight into the most energetic and enigmatic environments in the Universe. With the IceCube’s discovery of the high-energy cosmic neutrino flux, we have embarked upon a new era of high-energy physics and astrophysics with neutrinos. High-energy neutrinos can uncover the whereabouts of cosmic accelerators and present a unique opportunity to test fundamental particle physics. In this talk, I will discuss the recent developments in the observation of high-energy cosmic neutrinos and highlight the opportunities offered by the observables of cosmic neutrinos to probe for physics beyond the Standard Model in the neutrino sector.
