NW: Opening celestial horizons: Detecting astrophysical high energy electron and tau neutrinos with IceCube

The IceCube detector, which is currently being constructed at the South Pole, will be used to search for high-energy neutrinos. The main aim of the project is to develop methods for data processing and simulation for the IceCube experiment. The goal of the project is to do a first detection of astrophysical high-energy neutrinos.
