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.
Ideas and objectives for the Gen2 Camera-based calibration system
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.
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...
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.
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.
Discussion: what do we need for Gen2 Phase II proposal and Gen2 PDR?
