Acceptance Tests of more than 10 000 Photomultiplier Tubes for the multi-PMT Digital Optical Modules of the IceCube Upgrade
R. Abbasi, M. Ackermann, J. Adams +420
More than 10,000 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) with a diameter of 80 mm will be installed in multi-PMT Digital Optical Modules (mDOMs) of the IceCube Upgrade. These have been tested…
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…
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…
Design and performance of the multi-PMT optical module for IceCube Upgrade
T. Anderson, L. Classen, A. T. Fienberg +5
The IceCube Upgrade is the first step towards the next-generation neutrino observatory at the South Pole, IceCube-Gen2, and will be installed in the central region of the existing…
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

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…
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…
On the feasibility of RADAR detection of high-energy cosmic neutrinos
Krijn D. de Vries, Kael Hanson, Thomas Meures +1
We discuss the radar detection technique as a probe for high-energy cosmic neutrino induced particle cascades in a dense medium like ice. With the recent detection of high-energy c…
