The Maryland Particle Astrophysics group is involved in three pioneering experiments in this exciting field. The water Cerenkov detector, called Milagro, the Super Kamiokande experiment which is designed to study nucleon decay, solar neutrinos and supernovae neutrinos and our newest endeavor, the IceCube Experiment which is a one-cubic-kilometer international high-energy neutrino observatory being built and installed in the clear deep ice below the South Pole Station.
