The Path from AMANDA to IceCube
Abstract In May 2011, IceCube, a neutrino telescope with one cubic kilometer instrumented volume started full operation with 5,160 sensors. The plan to build an experiment of this scale was based in part on the successful realization of a prototype experiment, the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detecto...

Summary: | Abstract In May 2011, IceCube, a neutrino telescope with one cubic kilometer instrumented volume started full operation with 5,160 sensors. The plan to build an experiment of this scale was based in part on the successful realization of a prototype experiment, the Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array. Here, we will review some of the major challenges and milestones. |
