DESCRIPTION:Speakers: William Thompson (Harvard University)\n\nNeutrino as
 tronomy is the science of finding clever ways to turn the natural world in
 to a neutrino telescope. Because astrophysical neutrinos are rare and inte
 ract only feebly\, observatories must monitor gigatons of target material.
  IceCube achieved this by instrumenting a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice
  with more than 5\,000 photosensors\, leading to the discovery of high-ene
 rgy astrophysical neutrinos. This discovery has raised new questions\, suc
 h as the flavor composition of the astrophysical neutrino flux\, which bec
 omes difficult for IceCube to measure at high energies. TAMBO\, a next-gen
 eration observatory to be located in the Peruvian Andes\, takes a differen
 t approach\, using a mountain as its target. TAMBO will detect tau neutrin
 os that interact in one wall of a deep valley and produce tau leptons that
  decay in the valley\, creating air showers measured by a detector array o
 n the opposite slope.In this talk\, I will describe IceCube’s design\, i
 ts major discoveries\, and the open questions it has raised. I will then d
 iscuss how TAMBO’s approach complements IceCube’s in-ice design\, and 
 present the status of TAMBITO\, the first stage of TAMBO\, now under const
 ruction.\n\nhttps://indico.bnl.gov/event/34605/
