IceCube:物理学、现状和未来

IceCube: physics, status, and future

Klas Hultqvist

摘要:

冰立方天文台是高能中微子天文学和宇宙射线领域的第一个立方公里级仪器。2009年,在五个成功的部署季节之后,冰立方由南极冰层中的59个光学模块串组成,以及IceTop表面阵列中的118个空气簇射探测器。物理主题的范围包括来自天体物理源的中微子信号、暗物质、奇异粒子物理、宇宙射线和大气中微子。描述了当前IceCube状态和选定结果。预计未来的发展也进行了讨论,特别是最近部署的深核低能量子阵列。

英文摘要:

The IceCube observatory is the first cubic kilometre scale instrument in the field of high-energy neutrino astronomy and cosmic rays. In 2009, following five successful deployment seasons, IceCube consisted of 59 strings of optical modules in the South Pole ice, together with 118 air shower detectors in the IceTop surface array. The range of physics topics includes neutrino signals from astrophysical sources, dark matter, exotic particle physics, cosmic rays, and atmospheric neutrinos. The current IceCube status and selected results are described. Anticipated future developments are also discussed, in particular the Deep Core low energy subarray which was recently deployed.
