| Summary: | A 1.4 m 3 ice Cherenkov tank was installed at the South Pole during the 2000-2001 austral summer. The penetrating muon rate was measured for three different incident angles with a scintillator muon telescope incorporating the tank as absorber. The freezing process was monitored and the detector was calibrated with the penetrating muons. The calibration is compared to a GEANT simulation of the detector. Signals coincident with air showers have also been recorded using a trigger from the surrounding SPASE-2 (South Pole Air Shower Experiment-2) array. |
