New direction in high energy neutrino physics: IceCube and the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment

Elisa Resconi

TU Munich

A higher statistics of high energy neutrinos is needed to open the universe's exploration at the highest energies. In this talk, I will address questions related to the nature of dark matter, the existence of long-lived exotic particles, and how cosmic laboratories can accelerate particles at least up to the PeV scale. The availability of multi-cubic-kilometer neutrino telescopes currently limits the advance. In this talk, I will discuss the field's status and new opportunities to collect more and better measured high energy neutrinos. To this end, I will cover IceCube and the planned Upgrade and the future neutrino telescopes IceCube-Gen2 and the Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment.
