Design, performance, and analysis of a measurement of optical properties of antarctic ice below 400 nm
The IceCubeNeutrino Observatory, located at the geographic South Pole, is theworld's largest neutrino telescope, instrumenting 1 km(3) of Antarctic ice with 5160 photosensors to detect Cherenkov light. For the IceCube Upgrade, to be deployed during the 2022-23 polar field season, and the enlarg...
