  1. 1. DeepCore upgrades: A phased approach toward precision megaton neutrino detectors
    Darren Grant (U of Alberta)

    Particle Astrophysics in Ice
    Darren Grant The DeepCore detector, the low-energy extension to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, instruments a fiducial volume of up to 35MT with an energy threshold as low as about 10 GeV. Much of the success of the achieving a pure neutrino sample in the detector is the use of the IceCube array as the world's largest active veto for cosmic ray muons. It is possible...

  2. 12. The Askaryan Radio Array - a new instrument for the detection of highest energy neutrinos.

    Particle Astrophysics in Ice
    Building on the expertise gained by RICE, ANITA and IceCube's radio extension in the use of the Askaryan effect in cold Antarctic ice, we are currently developing an antenna array known as ARA (The Askaryan Radio Array) to be installed in boreholes extending 200 m below the surface of the ice near the geographic South Pole. The cold and deep glacial ice at the South Pole is transparent to...

  3. 2. Detecting supernova neutrinos in the ice of the South Pole
    Mr Marek Kowalski (Bonn University)

    Particle Astrophysics in Ice
    Current supernova detectors will deliver a tremendous neutrino statistics for a core collapse supernova (SN) within our Galaxy or slightly beyond. However, with a rate of 2 SNe per century, awaiting the next discovery requires patience. The perspective changes instantly, once the sensitivity of neutrino detectors reaches a scale allowing the detection of SNe in neighboring galaxies. A...

  4. 8. DM-Ice: A direct dark matter search at the South Pole
    Reina Maruyama (University of Wisconsin--Madison)
    27/04/2011, 12:00
    Particle Astrophysics in Ice
    I will describe DM-Ice, a direct detection dark matter experiment to be deployed at the South Pole co-located with the IceCube/DeepCore Neutrino Telescope. This experiment will use roughly 250 kg of low-background NaI detectors to search for the DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation in the southern hemisphere where many of the environmental backgrounds associated with seasonal variations present in...

    Particle Astrophysics in Ice
    We present initial results from simulations of possible large optical extension of IceCube additional strings optimized for neutrino-astronomy in the TeV-PeV range.
