IceCube is an all-sky detector at the South Pole which detects high energy neutrinos in the range of 1010 to 1021 eV. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the lead management institute for IceCube. The construction of IceCube, maintenance and operations, and the IceCube Upgrade are supported by the National Science Foundation as well as the Department of Energy, the University of Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, Michigan State University, and agencies in Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Japan, and Korea.
