Study of South Pole Ice Transparency with IceCube Flashers
The IceCube observatory, 1 $km^3$ in size, is now complete with 86 strings deployed in the antarctic ice.IceCube detects the Cherenkov radiation emitted by charged particles passing through or created in the ice. To realizethe full potential of the detector the properties of light propagation in the...
