The recognition is a close one for the staff of the Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE), a joint center of the USC and the Xunta, with whom Halzen has maintained a close collaboration for almost 40 years. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Collaboration with Enrique Zas, Ricardo V\u00e1zquez and Jaime \u00c1lvarez-Mu\u00f1iz<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the mid-1980s, Enrique Zas Arregui, now professor of Theoretical Physics at USC and member of the IGFAE, was a postdoctoral researcher with Halzen at the University of Wisconsin. And it was in the conversations with the Galician researcher that, a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jotdown.es\/2014\/05\/francis-halzen-siempre-aconsejo-a-mis-estudiantes-no-leais-demasiados-libros-haced-cosas\/\">ccording to the now Nobel Prize<\/a> winner in Physics,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aps.org\/apsnews\/2025\/12\/medal-francis-halzen\"> the idea of \u200b\u200bbuilding an observatory to detect neutrinos in ice <\/a>emerged, thanks to the resolution of a problem that the Galician researcher solved \u201cbrilliantly,\u201d says Halzen. That was the germ of IceCube, the project located in the Antarctic ice that has just won Halzen the Nobel Prize. Enrique Zas\u2019s contribution is also mentioned in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nobelprize.org\/uploads\/2026\/10\/advanced-physicsprize2026.pdf\">scientific document itself<\/a> that accompanies the Nobel award.   <\/p>\n<p>Another of the Belgian physicist&#8217;s collaborators at the IGFAE was Ricardo V\u00e1zquez L\u00f3pez, who passed away at the end of 2022, for whom he supervised two doctoral theses, one of which was co-supervised with Enrique Zas. V\u00e1zquez&#8217;s contributions were relevant to the development of IceCube. On the occasion of the visit to Santiago for the defense of Ricardo V\u00e1zquez&#8217;s thesis, Halzen presented the bases of the proposal for the construction of the Antarctic observatory at the Faculty of Physics of the USC.  <\/p>\n<p>Similarly, some of Halzen&#8217;s most cited papers on neutrino and cosmic ray detection are co-authored, along with Zas and V\u00e1zquez, with IGFAE physicist Jaime \u00c1lvarez-Mu\u00f1iz, who was also a postdoctoral researcher with the Nobel Prize in Physics. \u00c1lvarez-Mu\u00f1iz recently <a href=\"https:\/\/igfae.usc.es\/igfae\/en\/jaime-alvarez-muniz-synergy-grant-heron\/\">obtained an ERC Synergy Grant for the HERON project<\/a> , based on the detection of very high energy neutrinos, the topic on which he had worked with Halzen. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of the IGFAE<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24951\" style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24951\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24951\" src=\"https:\/\/igfae.usc.es\/igfae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_10_22-SAB-1-web.jpg\" alt=\"Francis Halzen (centre), at the 2024 IGFAE SAB meeting.  \" width=\"2000\" height=\"1207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igfae.usc.es\/igfae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_10_22-SAB-1-web.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/igfae.usc.es\/igfae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_10_22-SAB-1-web-1500x905.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/igfae.usc.es\/igfae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_10_22-SAB-1-web-750x453.jpg 750w, https:\/\/igfae.usc.es\/igfae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024_10_22-SAB-1-web-30x18.jpg 30w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24951\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Francis Halzen (centre), at the 2024 IGFAE SAB meeting.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_24957\" style=\"width: 1162px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24957\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24957\" src=\"https:\/\/igfae.usc.es\/igfae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019_Francis-Halzen-SAB.jpg\" alt=\"{%ALT_TEXT%}\" width=\"1152\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/igfae.usc.es\/igfae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019_Francis-Halzen-SAB.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/igfae.usc.es\/igfae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019_Francis-Halzen-SAB-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/igfae.usc.es\/igfae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019_Francis-Halzen-SAB-30x20.jpg 30w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1152px) 100vw, 1152px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24957\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">{%CAPTION%}<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The IceCube experiment leader&#8217;s connection with Galicia extends to the IGFAE Scientific Advisory Committee, which he currently chairs.

In this context, the ice of the South Pole, where the observatory is located, is free from interference and seismic movements that can complicate the detection of neutrinos, making it an ideal location for this type of experiment. <\/p>\n<p>After two decades of design and construction, IceCube became operational in 2011. It soon began detecting the first high-energy neutrinos from outside the solar system. These sources are expected to reveal invaluable information about the most violent phenomena in the universe.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francis Halzen (Tienen \u2013 Belgium, 1944), was awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics this Tuesday for his decisive contributions to the IceCube neutrino observatory, and for the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin.
