Time Dependence of Cosmic Ray Anisotropy
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory consists of 5,160 sensors called Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) buried between one and a half to two and a half kilometers under the surface of the ice of Antarctica. The DOMs are frozen in 86 vertical strings covering a kilometer cube in volume. The experiment is de...
