Since its construction was completed in 2010, a wide range of analyses has been performed. Those include, among others, the discovery of a high energetic astrophysical neutrino flux, competitive measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters and world-leading limits on dark matter detection. With ever-increasing statistics the influence of insufficiently known aspects of the detector performance start to limit the potential gain of future analyses. This thesis presents calibration studies on both the hardware characteristics as well as the optical properties of the instrumented ice. Improving the knowledge of the detector systematics and the methods to study them does not only aid IceCube but also inform the design of potential future IceCube extensions. : Published by Aachen Thesis South pole DataCite Metadata Store (German National Library of Science and Technology) South Pole |
