Description
The Precision IceCube Next Generation Upgrade (PINGU) will require optical sensors
with performance similar to IceCube’s DOMs but implemented in a higher-density
array. We are pursuing a new design for the "PDOM" that retains the proven
mechanical elements of the IceCube DOM yet takes advantage of recently commercialized
high-speed digitizer technology. The main features of the proposed PDOM electronics
will be discussed, along with status and plans for development. Proposed
modifications to the IceCube string architecture that will accommodate the smaller
vertical PDOM spacing will be presented. General requirements and baseline plans for
cable systems and surface electronics will also be discussed.
