Status and plans for the instrumentation of the IceCube Surface Array Enhancement
S. Shefali, Frank G. Schroeder
The surface array of IceCube, IceTop, operates primarily as a cosmic-ray detector, as well as a veto for astrophysical neutrino searches for the IceCube in-ice instrumentation. How…
Mechanical design of the optical modules intended for IceCube-Gen2
Yuya Makino
IceCube-Gen2 is an expansion of the IceCube neutrino observatory at the South Pole that aims to increase the sensitivity to high-energy neutrinos by an order of magnitude. To this…
Operations plans and sensitivities of the IceCube Upgrade Camera System
Steven Rodan, Christoph Tönnis, Jiwoong Lee +1
The IceCube Upgrade consists of seven new strings to be deployed in the central region of the existing IceCube detector. The goals of the IceCube Upgrade are two-fold: to enhance s…
A new simulation framework for IceCube Upgrade calibration using IceCube Upgrade Camera system
Christoph Tönnis, Seowon Choi, Carsten Rott +2
Currently, an upgrade consisting of seven densely instrumented strings in the center of the volume of the IceCube detector with new digital optical modules (DOMs) is being built. O…
Enhanced Starting Track Real-time Stream for IceCube
Jesse Osborn, Sarah Mancina, Manuel Silva
IceCube real-time alerts allow for rapid follow-up observations of likely astrophysical neutrino events, enabling searches for multi-messenger counterparts. The Enhanced Starting T…
Electronics Design of the IceCube-Gen2 Optical Module Prototype
Sean Griffin
IceCube-Gen2 is a planned extension to the existing IceCube Neutrino Observatory and will provide an order of magnitude increase in the detection rate of cosmic neutrinos by deploy…
Detailed investigations of PMTs in optical sensors for neutrino telescopes such as IceCube Upgrade
Berit Schlüter, Willem Achtermann, Martin Antonio Unland Elorrieta
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are a central component of neutrino telescopes such as IceCube and KM3NeT, and an accurate understanding and measurement of their properties is indispe…
Performance studies on new 4" photomultiplier types intended for IceCube-Gen2 optical modules
Markus Dittmer, Alexander Kappes
In the upcoming IceCube-Gen2 extension, the newly developed optical modules will include 4-inch PMTs. For this purpose, the manufacturers Hamamatsu and North Night Vision Technolog…
D-Egg: a Dual PMT Optical Module for IceCube
R. Abbasi, M. Ackermann, J. Adams +389
The D-Egg, an acronym for ``Dual optical sensors in an Ellipsoid Glass for Gen2,'' is one of the optical modules designed for future extensions of the IceCube experiment at the Sou…
Automated SpectroPhotometric Image REDuction (ASPIRED)
Marco C. Lam, Robert J. Smith, Iair Arcavi +3
We provide a suite of public open-source spectral data-reduction software to rapidly obtain scientific products from all forms of long-slit-like spectroscopic observations. Automat…
An update on the development of ASPIRED
Marco C Lam, Robert J Smith, Josh Veitch-Michaelis +2
We are reporting the updates in version 0.2.0 of the Automated SpectroPhotometric REDuction (ASPIRED) pipeline, designed for common use on different instruments. The default settin…
Learnings from Frontier Development Lab and SpaceML -- AI Accelerators for NASA and ESA
Siddha Ganju, Anirudh Koul, Alexander Lavin +3
Research with AI and ML technologies lives in a variety of settings with often asynchronous goals and timelines: academic labs and government organizations pursue open-ended resear…
RASCAL: Towards automated spectral wavelength calibration
Josh Veitch-Michaelis, Marco C Lam
Wavelength calibration is a routine and critical part of any spectral work-flow, but many astronomers still resort to matching detected peaks and emission lines by hand. We present…
