Optimization of the optical array geometry for IceCube-Gen2

IceCube-Gen2 is a planned extension of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole designed to study the high-energy neutrino sky from TeV to EeV energies with a five times better point source sensitivity than the current IceCube detector. This is achieved by deploying 120 new strings with at...
