This project highlights various methods used to detect the elongated elemental particle neutrino. It is especially focused on the IceCube observatory, which uses Cherenkov light to detect these particles. Neutrino is an importnant building block in astrophysics and particle physics research as this particle can travel from great distances in time and space without interacting with matter. This means that high-energy neutrinos that are detected can orginate from strong explosions from outer space, even from explosions billion years ago, like Big Bang. This means that these particles carry a huge amount of information about the universe. The project also contains an experiment whose purpose is to demonstrate that with simple materials it is possible to detect particles that are not otherwise visible to the naked eye.
