Description
Very large volume neutrino telescopes observe atmospheric neutrinos over
a wide energy range (GeV to TeV), after they travel distances as large
as the Earth's diameter. DeepCore, the low energy extension of IceCube,
has started making meaningful measurements of the atmospheric
oscillation parameters. PINGU, a proposed extension to lower DeepCore's
detection threshold, aims to use the same neutrino flux to further
increase the precision with which these parameters are known, and
eventually determine the neutrino mass ordering. The transition from the
currently running DeepCore to the proposed PINGU, as well as their
latest results, are discussed in this talk.
