Low da rk noise rates and dense module spacing will thereby allow to substantiall y decrease the energy threshold in future projects. We describe a feasibil ity study of a novel type of single photon sensor that employs organic wav elength-shifting material (WLS) to capture Cherenkov photons and guide the m to a PMT readout. Different WLS materials have been tested in lab measur ements as candidates for use in such a sensor and photon capture efficienc ies as high as 50 % have been achieved. Based on these findings we estimat e that the effective photosensitive area of a prototype built with existin g technology can easily exceed that of modules currently used e. g. in Ice Cube. Additionally\, the dark noise rate of such a module can be exception ally low in the order of 10 Hz. This is of special importance when targeti ng low-energy neutrinos\nthat yield only few photons that need to be disti nguished from noise hits\n\nhttps://events.icecube.wisc.edu/event/52/contr ibutions/3504/ LOCATION:Garching\, Germany URL:https://events.icecube.wisc.edu/event/52/contributions/3504/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:PINGU Precision for Atmospheric Oscillation Parameters DTSTART:20131014T101000Z DTEND:20131014T103000Z DTSTAMP:20261014T081800Z UID:indico-contribution-3505@events.icecube.wisc.edu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Kai Krings (o=rwth\,ou=Institutions\,dc=icecube\,dc= wisc\,dc=edu)\n\n...\n\nhttps://events.icecube.wisc.edu/event/52/contribut ions/3505/ LOCATION:Garching\, Germany URL:https://events.icecube.wisc.edu/event/52/contributions/3505/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:A low energy air Cherenkov veto system DTSTART:20131015T103000Z DTEND:20131015T104500Z DTSTAMP:20261014T081800Z UID:indico-contribution-3506@events.icecube.wisc.edu DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Tyce DeYoung (o=psu\,ou=Institutions\,dc=icecube\,dc =wisc\,dc=edu)\, Kelly Malone (Penn State University)\, Harris Bernstein ( Penn State University)\, Abe Falcone (Penn State University)\n\nPreliminar y ideas regarding a surface veto array based on simple imaging air Cherenk ov telescopes will be presented.
