DFS poster prize to NBI student
Kathrine Mørch Groth, a PhD student with the IceCube group at the Niels Bohr International Academy, was awarded the best theory poster prize at the Joint annual meeting of the Danish Physical Society and the Danish Physics Teacher Association.
The meeting was held in Nyborg, Denmark, over November 15-16, 2022, and hosted over 170 participants, including 26 poster presentations. Kathrine’s prize-winning work explores the relations between the point sources and the diffuse flux of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. This topic is of particular importance today, when the evidence of neutrino emission from individual point sources, such as the blazar TXS 0506+056 and the starburst galaxy NGC-1068, has become significant, while the majority of astrophysical neutrino sources remain unidentified. The statistical analysis developed by Kathrine could help improve the sensitivity to the detection of neutrino source populations and thus pave the way to a better understanding of the conditions necessary for high-energy neutrino production.
The poster prize awarded to Kathrine was sponsored by the European Physical Journal.
