Welcome
The UWRF Physics department is proud to be one of only 2 undergraduate programs to be a part of the IceCube collaboration. While the IceCube project has been a work in progress for many years, it is only now that the fruits of past labors can be seen and appreciated. IceCube itself is scheduled to be completed during the austral summer of 2011.
The UWRF IceCube Web-page is under construction so check back often for all of the updates!
Lots of exciting things are happening with IceCube at UW-River Falls this year!
