A professor, Carsten Rott's team of physics contributes to illuminating the cosmic source through neutrinos detection
Participation as Korea`s only research team in the Ice Cube International Joint Research Institute supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF)
The Ice Cube International Joint Research Institute, in which a team of Professor Carsten Rott of the Sungkyunkwan University School of Physics have participated, presented the origin of high energy neutrino through the international scientific journal 'Science' on July 13 for the first time in the world. Neutrino, one of the basic particles that make up the universe, is called ghost particles because it is difficult to observe with any equipment. The origin has opened up a new horizon in neutrino astronomy by uncovering that it is a celestial body, 'blazar,' which is 3.7 billion light years from Earth.
The eight researchers at Sungkyunkwan University, led by the professor Carsten Rott, have joined as the only Korean research team taking part in the Ice Cube International Joint Research Institute and it has participated as an official research cooperation organization of the International Joint Research Group since 2013.
