It has discovered the flux of astrophysical neutrinos and has pinpointed three sources: Our galaxy, NGC 1068, and TXS 0506+056.In the Antarctic summer season of 2025/2026, 700 new optical modules and additional calibration and R&D devices will be deployed, forming the IceCube Upgrade.

The PMTs are the central detection units of the mDOM and have to comply with strict quality criteria. This work describes the design, construction, and commissioning of a central testing facility for the PMTs. More than 10,000 PMTs needed to be tested for compliance with quality specifications. The testing facility, the testing procedures, and the results of the testing campaign are presented. A central result of the tests is that most ...
