A Peruvian physicist is leading construction of TAMBO, a novel neutrino telescope in the Andes Mountains designed to detect ultra-high-energy cosmic neutrinos by leveraging Earth-skimming detection methods and mountain shielding. The project aims to capture rare cosmogenic neutrinos and other extreme-energy particles that could reveal new insights into cosmic ray origins and physics beyond current understanding.
