未来IceCube-Gen2面阵的仿真研究

Simulation study for the future IceCube-Gen2 surface array

Alan Coleman, Agnieszka Leszczyńska, Mark Weyrauch

摘要:

下一代IceCube中微子天文台IceCube-Gen 2将构成一个更大的探测器,增加高能中微子的速率。IceCube-Gen 2将解决有关天体物理加速器的长期问题。该实验还将包括一个表面空气簇射探测器,它将允许在预期银河系和河外加速器之间过渡的能量区域测量宇宙射线。作为表面探测器的基线设计,我们考虑在光学冰内阵列上方的表面阵列,其由用于IceTop增强的相同类型的站组成,即,闪烁探测器和无线电天线。为了更好地了解这种阵列的能力,我们模拟了它对空气簇射的响应,包括两种探测器类型。我们将展示这项模拟研究的结果,并讨论IceCube-Gen 2表面阵列的前景。

英文摘要:

The next generation of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, IceCube-Gen2, will constitute a much larger detector, increasing the rate of high-energy neutrinos. IceCube-Gen2 will address the long-standing questions about astrophysical accelerators. The experiment will also include a surface air-shower detector which will allow for measurements of cosmic rays in the energy region where a transition between Galactic and extragalactic accelerators is expected. As a baseline design for the surface detector, we consider a surface array above the optical in-ice array consisting of the same type of stations used for the IceTop enhancement, i.e., scintillation detectors and radio antennas. In order to better understand the capabilities of such an array, we performed simulations of its response to air showers, including both detector types. We will show the results of this simulation study and discuss the prospects for the surface array of IceCube-Gen2.
