Measurement of South Pole ice transparency with the IceCube LED calibration system

IceCube Collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, R. Abbasi +272

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, approximately 1 km^3 in size, is now complete with 86 strings deployed in the Antarctic ice. IceCube detects the Cherenkov radiation emitted by ch…

Search for dark matter annihilations in the Sun with the 79-string IceCube detector

IceCube collaboration, M. G. Aartsen, R. Abbasi +274

We have performed a search for muon neutrinos from dark matter annihilation in the center of the Sun with the 79-string configuration of the IceCube neutrino telescope. For the fir…

An improved method for measuring muon energy using the truncated mean of dE/dx

IceCube collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +277

The measurement of muon energy is critical for many analyses in large Cherenkov detectors, particularly those that involve separating extraterrestrial neutrinos from the atmospheri…

Lateral Distribution of Muons in IceCube Cosmic Ray Events

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +277

In cosmic ray air showers, the muon lateral separation from the center of the shower is a measure of the transverse momentum that the muon parent acquired in the cosmic ray interac…

IceTop: The surface component of IceCube

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +280

IceTop, the surface component of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, is an air shower array with an area of 1 km2. The detector allows a detailed exploration of the…

Cosmic Ray Composition and Energy Spectrum from 1-30 PeV Using the 40-String Configuration of IceTop and IceCube

IceCube Collaboration, R. Abbasi, Y. Abdou +271

The mass composition of high energy cosmic rays depends on their production, acceleration, and propagation. The study of cosmic ray composition can therefore reveal hints of the or…
