Descripción
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory opened the window on neutrino astronomy by discovering high-energy astrophysical neutrinos in 2013 and identifying the first compelling astrophysical neutrino source, the blazar TXS0506+056, in 2018. In this talk, I will discuss the science reach and ongoing development of the IceCube-Gen2 facility--a planned extension to IceCube. IceCube-Gen2 will increase the rate of observed cosmic neutrinos, be able to detect fainter neutrino sources, and extend the measurement of astrophysical neutrinos to higher energies. I will discuss the envisioned design of the instrument, which will include an enlarged in-ice optical array, a surface array for the study of cosmic-rays, and a shallow radio array to detect ultra-high energy (>100 PeV) neutrinos. I will also highlight ongoing efforts to develop and test new instrumentation for IceCube-Gen2.
