Description

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino telescope designed to detect high-energy neutrinos using Cherenkov radiation of secondary charged particles in Antarctic ice. IceCube was completed in 2010 and has been collecting data for the past decade and a half. Over this period, IceCube has observed a decrease in the background count rates of its optical modules. This presentation will examine the long-term trends in IceCube’s supernova scaler rates.
