  • 2013 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For contributions to particle astrophysics covering gamma ray, neutrino and cosmic ray experiments, especially to the commissioning of a new generation of experiments For elucidating the statistics of the search for anisotropies in the cosmic ray flux and mapping the arrival directions of Galactic cosmic rays in the southern sky using IceCube data

Overview

S. Westerhoff was affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States. During their career, they contributed to the field of particle astrophysics, particularly focusing on gamma ray, neutrino, and cosmic ray experiments. Their work included efforts to commission a new generation of experiments designed to investigate these phenomena.

Their research activities involved analyzing the statistics related to the search for anisotropies in the cosmic ray flux. They mapped the arrival directions of Galactic cosmic rays in the southern sky utilizing data obtained from the IceCube experiment, which is a neutrino observatory located at the South Pole.

Throughout their career, S. Westerhoff received recognition for their contributions. Notably, in 2013, they were named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). The citation highlighted their contributions to particle astrophysics involving gamma rays, neutrinos, and cosmic rays, as well as their role in commissioning new experiments and interpreting cosmic ray anisotropy data using IceCube results.
