SUMMARY:Probing the Universe with Neutrinos\, High Energy Seminar\, Er
ik Blaufuss\, University of Maryland
DESCRIPTION:The construction of large neutrino detectors sensitive to
high-energy
\nneutrinos has opened a new window on the Universe.
These unique
\nmessengers are not affected by magnetic fields or i
nteractions in dense
\nastrophysical environments and offer the po
tential to observe deep inside
\nthe most energetic phenomena in t
he Universe. The IceCube Neutrino
\nObservatory\, recently comple
ted deep in the Antarctic ice under the
\ngeographic South Pole\,
is sensitive to neutrinos of TeV energies and
\nhigher. One of th
e leading candidates for the source of the highest
\nenergy cosmic
rays are gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Models producing the
\nhighest
energy cosmic rays in GRBs predict neutrino fluxes detectable in
\nIceCube. In this talk I will summarize the status of the IceCube sea
rches
\nfor neutrinos from gamma-ray bursts\, and preview future n
eutrino studies
\nthat are possible in the completed IceCube detec
tor and in a future
\nmassive detector at a deep underground labor
atory.
