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…
Harvesting BAT-GUANO with NITRATES (Non-Imaging Transient Reconstruction And TEmporal Search): Detecting and localizing the faintest GRBs with a likelihood framework
James DeLaunay, Aaron Tohuvavohu
The detection of the gravitational wave counterpart GRB 170817A, underluminous compared to the cosmological GRB population by a factor of 10,000, motivates significant effort in de…
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…
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…
