  • Direct observation of their origins, however, has proven di?cult due to de?ection of charged cosmic ray particles in galactic and intergalactic magnetic ?elds, obscuring their true origins.
  • Astronomy using electrically neutral particles, such as photons and neutrinos, does not, however, share this di?culty.
  • This work presents a search for neutrino emission from one of the primary candidates for the sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays, Gamma-Ray Bursts, using the recently-completed IceCube neutrino telescope located at the South Pole.
