With respect to the IceCube, consider the following statements:

The IceCube telescope is a powerful tool to search for dark matter.

IceCube studies the neutrons.

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is constructed at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Question

IceCube is a particle detector at the South Pole that records the interactions of a nearly massless subatomic particle called the neutrino. IceCube searches for neutrinos from the most violent astrophysical sources: events like exploding stars, gamma-ray bursts, and cataclysmic phenomena involving black holes and neutron stars.
The IceCube telescope is a powerful tool to search for dark matter and could reveal the physical processes associated with the enigmatic origin of the highest energy particles in nature. In addition, exploring the background of neutrinos produced in the atmosphere, IceCube studies the neutrinos themselves; their energies far exceed those produced by accelerator beams. IceCube is the world’s largest neutrino detector, encompassing a cubic kilometer of ice.
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is constructed at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. The project is a recognized CERN experiment. It is buried beneath the surface, extending to a depth of about 2,500 meters.
