NBIA Seminar: Peter Denton

Ultra high energy cosmic rays and astrophysical neutrinos are two of the most energetic observables we have into the universe, yet their origins remain a mystery. Each class of particles has different advantages and disadvantages when it comes to determining their sources. I will present techniques well suited for each class. For cosmic rays, ground based experiments can't see the whole sky and I will discuss the penalty they pay for this. For neutrinos, I will present a general technique for determining their origin.
