Physics Colloquium with Kohta Murase on High-Energy Neutrino Astrophysics

Kohta Murase (Hosted by Dev/Errando) from Pennsylvania State University will be presenting the colloquium "High-Energy Neutrino Astrophysics in the Multimessenger Era"

The discovery of high-energy cosmic neutrinos opened a new window of astroparticle physics. Their origin is a new mystery in the field, which is tightly connected to the long-standing puzzle about the origin of cosmic rays. Murase will give an overview of the latest results on high-energy neutrino and cosmic-ray observations, and demonstrate the power of "multimessenger" approaches. In particular, he will show that the observed fluxes of neutrinos, gamma rays, and extragalactic cosmic rays can be understood in a unified manner. He will also highlight the recent developments about astrophysical neutrino emission from supermassive black holes and violent transient phenomena. Possibilities of utilizing high-energy neutrinos as a probe of physics beyond the Standard Model may be discussed.
