英文摘要：

IceCube is a 1 km^3 neutrino detector now being built at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. It consists of 4800 Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) which detect Cherenkov radiation from the charged particles produced in neutrino interactions. IceCube will observe astrophysical neutrinos with energies above about 100 GeV. IceCube will be able to separate ν_μ, ν_e and ν_τinteractions because of their different topologies. IceCube construction is currently 50% complete.

IceCube: An Instrument for Neutrino Astronomy

Neutrino astronomy beyond the Sun was first imagined in the late 1950s; by the 1970s, it was realized that kilometer-scale neutrino detectors were required. The first such instrument, IceCube, is near completion and taking data. The IceCube project transforms a cubic kilometer of deep and ultra-transparent Antarctic ice into a particle detector. A total of 5,160 optical sensors are embedded into a gigaton of Antarctic ice to detect the Cherenkov light emitted by secondary particles produced when neutrinos interact with nuclei in the ice. Each optical sensor is a complete data acquisition syste…

Calibration of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory instruments roughly one cubic kilometer of deep, glacial ice below the geographic South Pole with 5160 optical sensors to register the Cherenkov light of passing relativistic, charged particles. Since its construction was completed in 2010, a wide range of analyses has been performed. Those include, among others, the discovery of a high energetic astrophysical neutrino flux, competitive measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters and world-leading limits on dark matter detection. With ever-increasing statistics the influence of insufficiently known aspects …

Infused Ice can Multiply IceCube's Sensitivity

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is the world's largest neutrino detector with a cubic-kilometer instrumented volume at the South Pole. It is preparing for a major upgrade that will significantly increase its sensitivity. A promising technological innovation investigated for this upgrade is wavelength shifting optics. Augmenting sensors with such optics could increase the photo-collection area of IceCube's digital optical modules, and shift the incoming photons' wavelength to where these modules are the most sensitive. Here we investigate the use of IceCube's drill holes themselves as waveleng…

Improving the muon track reconstruction of IceCube and IceCube-Gen2

IceCube is a cubic-kilometer Cherenkov telescope operating at the South Pole. Its goal is to detect astrophysical neutrinos and identify their sources. High-energy muon neutrinos are identified through the secondary muons produced via charge current interactions with the ice. The present best-performing directional reconstruction of the muon track is a maximum likelihood method which uses the arrival time distribution of Cherenkov photons registered by the experiment's photomultipliers. Known systematic shortcomings of this method are to assume continuous energy loss along the muon track, and …

Design of a Robust Fiber Optic Communications System for Future IceCube Detectors

In this work we discuss ongoing development of a hybrid fiber/copper data and timing infrastructure for the future IceCube-Gen2 detector. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a kilometer-scale detector operating with 86 strings of modules. These modules communicate utilizing a custom protocol to mitigate the signaling challenges of long distance copper cables. Moving past the limitations of a copper-based backbone will allow larger future IceCube detectors with extremely precise timing and a large margin of excess throughput to accommodate innovative future modules. To this end, the upcoming Ic…

Reconstruction of Neutrino Events in IceCube using Graph Neural Networks

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer scale neutrino detector embedded in the Antarctic ice of the South Pole. In the near future, the detector will be augmented by extensions, such as the IceCube Upgrade and the planned Gen2 detector. The sparseness of observed light in the detector for low-energy events, and the irregular detector geometry, have always been a challenge to the reconstruction of the detected neutrinos' parameters of interest. This challenge remains with the IceCube Upgrade, currently under construction, which introduces seven new detector strings with novel det…

The IceCube Upgrade -- Design and Science Goals

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the geographic South Pole has reached a number of milestones in the field of neutrino astrophysics. The achievements of IceCube include the discovery of a high-energy astrophysical neutrino flux, and the temporal and directional correlation of neutrinos with a flaring blazar. The IceCube Upgrade, which will be constructed in the 2022/23 Antarctic Summer season, is the next stage of the IceCube project. The IceCube Upgrade consists of seven new columns of photosensors, densely embedded near the bottom center of the existing cubic-kilometer-scale IceCube Neutr…

Improved Detection of Supernovae with the IceCube Observatory

The IceCube neutrino telescope monitors one cubic kilometer of deep Antarctic ice by detecting Cherenkov photons emitted from charged secondaries produced when neutrinos interact in the ice. The geometry of the detector, which comprises a lattice of 5160 photomultipliers, is optimized for the detection of neutrinos above 100 GeV. However, at subfreezing ice temperatures, dark noise rates are low enough that a high flux of MeV neutrinos streaming through the detector may be recognized by a collective rate enhancement in all photomultipliers. This method can be used to search for the signal of c…
