Preliminary analysis of ice Cherenkov detector operation during a latitude survey
Abstract IceTop, the surface component of IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, studies cosmic ray air showers with an array of ice Cherenkov detectors typically referred to as “IceTop Tanks.” In November 2009, collaborators from the University of Delaware, UW River Falls, and Uppsala Univ...
