Extragalactic optical-infrared background radiation, its time evolution and the cosmic photon-photon opacity (2008, background): “…CR and background photons are currently considered to be the main source of the local high-energy neutrino background (cosmogenic neutrinos) that may be detected by forthcoming experiments (e.g. AMANDA, see Achterberg et al. 2007, and the IceCube neutrino observatory, see Achterberg et al. 2006).”
The IceCube Realtime Alert System (2016, methodology): “The IceCube neutrino detector [7, 8] consists of 86 strings, each instrumented with 60 digital optical modules (DOMs) spaced up to 17 m apart over a total vertical length of one kilometer.”
All-sky Search for Time-integrated Neutrino Emission from Astrophysical Sources with 7 yr of IceCube Data (2016, background): “Main systematic uncertainties include the optical properties (scattering, absorption) of the South Pole ice(Aartsen et al. 2013b), the optical efficiency of Cerenkov light production yield and detection in the DOMs(Abbasi et al. 2010), and different photo-nuclear interaction models (Abramowicz et al”
Measurement of South Pole ice transparency with the IceCube LED calibration system (2013, methodology): “0 strings, each with 60 DOMs, as shown in Fig. 3. Each of the DOMs consists of a 10” photomultiplier tube (PMT) [6] facing downwards and several electronics boards enclosed in a glass pressure sphere [1]. The main board of the electronics includes two types of digitizers for recording PMT waveforms ”
Extending the Search for Muon Neutrinos Coincident with Gamma-Ray Bursts in IceCube Data (2017, background): “20 Dept.of Physics, University of Wuppertal, D-42119 Wuppertal, Germany 21 Dept.of Physics and Astronomy, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627, USA 22 Dept.of Physics, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA 23 Dept.of Physics and Astronomy, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 660”
Multi-messenger astrophysics (2019, background): “- The IceCube neutrino observatory [11] consists of a cubic kilometer (roughly a Gigaton) of ice at a depth between 1.”
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory: Instrumentation and Online Systems (2016, methodology): “The uncertainty on the absolute z-coordinate is 1 m, based on timing residual studies from downgoing muons [35].”
Letter of Intent: The Precision IceCube Next Generation Upgrade (PINGU) (2014, methodology): “To transfer this detailed characterization to the full population, all pDOMs will undergo a time-efficient testing process similar to that which was used in IceCube [27], but with increased emphasis on angular and wavelength dependences.”
The design and performance of IceCube DeepCore (2011, background): “DeepCore is a new subarray of the IceCube observatory [1] that was designed to provide sensitivity to neutrinos at energies over an order of magnitude lower than initially envisioned for the original array.”
