The LED calibration systems for the mDOM and D-Egg sensor modules of the IceCube Upgrade
R. Abbasi, M. Ackermann, J. Adams +432
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, instrumenting about 1 km of deep, glacial ice at the geographic South Pole, is due to be enhanced with the IceCube Upgrade. The IceCube Upgrad…
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…
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…
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…
A next-generation optical sensor for IceCube-Gen2
Vedant Basu, Aya Ishihara, Markus Dittmer +1
For the in-ice component of the next generation neutrino observatory at the South Pole, IceCube-Gen2, a new sensor module is being developed, which is an evolution of the D-Egg and…
Design and Performance of the first IceAct Demonstrator at the South Pole
M. G. Aartsen, M. Ackermann, J. Adams +393
In this paper we describe the first results of a compact imaging air-Cherenkov telescope, IceAct, operating in coincidence with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory (IceCube) at the ge…
Long-baseline horizontal radio-frequency transmission through polar ice
P. Allison, S. Archambault, J. J. Beatty +63
We report on analysis of englacial radio-frequency (RF) pulser data received over horizontal baselines of 1--5 km, based on broadcasts from two sets of transmitters deployed to dep…
Design and Performance of an Interferometric Trigger Array for Radio Detection of High-Energy Neutrinos
P. Allison, S. Archambault, R. Bard +69
Ultra-high energy neutrinos are detectable through impulsive radio signals generated through interactions in dense media, such as ice. Subsurface in-ice radio arrays are a promisin…
Observation of classically `forbidden' electromagnetic wave propagation and implications for neutrino detection
S. W. Barwick, E. C. Berg, D. Z. Besson +16
Ongoing experimental efforts in Antarctica seek to detect ultra-high energy neutrinos by measurement of radio-frequency (RF) Askaryan radiation generated by the collision of a neut…
Measurement of the real dielectric permittivity epsilon_r of glacial ice
P. Allison, S. Archambault, J. Auffenberg +66
Using data collected by the Askaryan Radio Array (ARA) experiment at the South Pole, we have used long-baseline propagation of radio-frequency signals to extract information on the…
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory: Instrumentation and Online Systems
IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, M. Ackermann +350
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer-scale high-energy neutrino detector built into the ice at the South Pole. Construction of IceCube, the largest neutrino detect…
