Acoustic transient event reconstruction and sensitivity studies with the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup

The South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS) consists of four strings instrumented with seven acoustic sensors and transmitters each, which are deployed in the upper 500 m of the IceCube holes. Since end of August 2008 SPATS is operating in transient mode, where three sensor channels of each string, l...
