  2. 14. Acoustic Modules for Gen2
    Christoph Günther (RWTH Aachen)
    07/04/2021, 08:10

    The acoustic calibration system is due to its large range and high accuracy a promising candidate for the geometry calibration of the Gen2 detector. The technical design of the acoustic module and the acoustic receivers are presented and the performance of the acoustic system and strategies for the calibration of the Gen2 detector are discussed.

  4. 11. Dust logging in gen2
    Benjamin Jones (University of Texas at Austin), Segev BenZvi (University of Rochester)
    07/04/2021, 09:05

    We discuss the development of a new dust logger for gen2, including reviewing basic capabilities needed to provide the tilt map critical for event energy resolution and plans for exploration of advanced features to expand the dust logger science case.

  5. 4. Calibrating IceCube track reconstructions by using DM-Ice coincidence events using 2012-2020 data
    Dr Teppei Katori (King's College London)
    07/04/2021, 10:00

    DMIce-17 comprises of two 8.5kg NaI(Tl) scintillator crystals located beneath the IceCube array. We demonstrate that it is possible to distinguish muons detected in DMIce-17 from background, and then use this to determine the coincidence rate between high energy tracks measured in IceCube and said muons for data covering 2012-2020. Finally, we discuss how this may be used to improve the track...

  6. 27. Water Tank Testing and Calibration
    Prof. Carlos Arguelles Delgado (Harvard University)
    07/04/2021, 10:20

    In this brief talk, I will summarize the objectives/ideas behind the water tank to be built at Harvard in collaboration with the MIT and King's college groups.

  7. 10. Gen2 - Optical calibration / in-situ POCAM?
    Felix Henningsen (Universität München), Tobias Pertl (Universität München), Ms Nikhita Khera (Universität München), Christian Spannfellner (Technische Universität München), Elisa Resconi (Universität München), Leonard Geilen (Universität München)
    07/04/2021, 10:30

    We would like to initiate a discussion about potential calibration possibilities in Gen2. One option we would like to investigate is an adapted / in-situ integrated POCAM-like light source inside the standard Gen2 module.
