IceCube - the next generation neutrino telescope at the South Pole

Abstract

IceCube is a large neutrino telescope of the next generation to be constructed in the Antarctic Ice Sheet near the South Pole. We present the conceptual design and the sensitivity of the IceCube detector to predicted fluxes of neutrinos, both atmospheric and extra-terrestrial. A complete simulation of the detector design has been used to study the detector's capability to search for neutrinos from sources such as active galaxies, and gamma-ray bursts.

8 pages, to be published with the proceedings of the XXth International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics, Munich 2002
