    Calibration
    The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is located in the ice near the geographic South Pole. Particle showers from neutrino interactions in the ice produce light which are detected by IceCube modules, and the amount and pattern of deposited light are used to reconstruct the properties of the incident neutrino. Since light is scattered and absorbed by ice between the neutrino interaction...

    Calibration
    IceCube is a cubic kilometer scale neutrino telescope at the South Pole, Antarctica. It consists 5160 light sensors deployed in 86 holes between 1450 meters and 2450 meters depth in the transparent ice. The holes have been drilled with a hot water technique, creating water filled holes with a diameter of 60 cm in which the light sensors were deployed before the water froze again. In order...

    Calibration
    PINGU, the Precision IceCube Next Generation Upgrade, aims at lowering the neutrino detection threshold of the IceCube neutrino telescope to a few GeV by adding new in-fill strings to the existing IceCube/DeepCore array. The main goal of the upgrade is to render the detector sensitive to the neutrino mass hierarchy utilizing atmospheric neutrinos. Precision reconstruction of...
