A multi-PMT Optical Module for the IceCube Upgrade
Lew Classen, Alexander Kappes, Timo Karg
Following the first observation of an astrophysical high-energy neutrino flux with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in 2013 and the identification of a first cosmic high-energy neu…
Prospects for identifying the sources of the Galactic cosmic rays with IceCube
Francis Halzen, Alexander Kappes, Aongus O'Murchadha
We quantitatively address whether IceCube, a kilometer-scale neutrino detector under construction at the South Pole, can observe neutrinos pointing back at the accelerators of the…
Design considerations and sensitivity estimates for an acoustic neutrino detector
Timo Karg, Gisela Anton, Kay Graf +6
We present a Monte Carlo study of an underwater neutrino telescope based on the detection of acoustic signals generated by neutrino induced cascades. This provides a promising appr…
Resource-aware Research on Universe and Matter: Call-to-Action in Digital Transformation
Ben Bruers, Marilyn Cruces, Markus Demleitner +34
Given the urgency to reduce fossil fuel energy production to make climate tipping points less likely, we call for resource-aware knowledge gain in the research areas on Universe an…
Performance studies for a next-generation optical sensor for IceCube-Gen2
Nobuhiro Shimizu, Aya Ishihara, Alexander Kappes
We present performance studies of a segmented optical module for the IceCube-Gen2 detector. Based on the experience gained in sensor development for the IceCube Upgrade, the new se…
LOFAR Measures the Hotspot Advance Speed of the High-Redshift Blazar S5 0836+710
Alexander Kappes, Manel Perucho, Matthias Kadler +3
Our goal is to study the termination of an AGN jet in the young universe and to deduce physical parameters of the jet and the intergalactic medium. We use LOFAR to image the long-w…
