Ice. Cube Ice. Top AMANDA South Pole Skiway • 80 Strings • 4800 PMT • Instrumented volume: 1 km 3 (1 Gt) 1400 m 2400 m
Track reconstruction in low noise environment 10 Te. V AMANDA-II • • • Typical event: 30 - 100 PMT fired Track length: 0. 5 - 1. 5 km Flight time: ≈4 µsecs Accidental noise pulses: 10 p. e. / 5000 PMT/4µsec Angular resolution: 0. 7 degrees Effective muon detector area: 1 km (after background suppression) 1 km
Point sources: event rates Flux =d. N/d. E = 10 -6*E-2/(cm 2 sec Ge. V) equal to AMANDAB 10 limit Atmospheric Neutrinos All sky/year (after quality cuts) AGN* (E-2) Sensitivity (E-2/(cm 2 sec Ge. V)) - 100, 000 Search bin/year 20 2300 - 1 year: Nch > 32 0. 91 610 5. 3 x 10 -9 3 year: Nch > 43 (7 Te. V) 0. 82 1370 2. 3 x 10 -9
Point source sensitivity The sensitivity of Ice. Cube to an E^-2 neutrino spectrum is comparable to the sensitivity of GLAST to an E^-2 photon spectrum (1 yr) Ice. Cube 3 years
Cascade event Energy = 375 Te. V e + N --> e- + X • The length of the actual cascade, ≈ 10 m, is small compared to the spacing of sensors • ==> ≈ roughly spherical density distribution of light 1 Pe. V ≈ 0. 5 km diameter
Double Bang Learned, Pakvasa, 1995 t + N --> t- + X t + X (82%) Regeneration makes Earth quasi transparent for high energie ; (Halzen, Salzberg 1998, …) Also enhanced muon flux due to Secondary µ, and µ (Beacom et al. . , astro/ph 0111482) E << 1 Pe. V: Single cascade (2 cascades coincide) E ≈ 1 Pe. V: Double bang E >> 1 Pe. V: partially contained (reconstruct incoming tau track and cascade from decay)

Observed waveforms in Ice N 2 -Laser event generated by in situ laser: Amplitude: ≈ 10^10 photons, Wavelength: ≈ 335 nm Pulse width: ≤ 10 nsec - comparable to ≈300 Te. V cascade Distance of OM Data * 45 m 115 m 167 m 2 µsec *HV of this PMT was lowered Simulation
Energy reconstruction Small detectors: Muon energy is difficult to measure because of fluctuations in d. E/dx Ice. Cube: Integration over large sampling+ scattering of light reduces the fluctutions energy loss. Eµ=10 Te. V ≈ 90 hits Eµ=6 Pe. V ≈ 1000 hits
Design goals • Ice. Cube was designed to detect to neutrinos over a wider range of energies and all flavors. • If one would wish to build a detector to detect primarily Pe. V or Ee. V neutrinos, one would obviously end up with a different detector.
A remark on the side for Ee. V fans The typical light cylinder generated by a muon of 1 E 11 e. V is 20 m, 1 Ee. V 400 m, 1 E 18 e. V it is about 600 to 700 m. This scaling gives a hint of how one could design a E>Ee. V optimized geometry in ice could be. (String spacing ≈ 1 km) Eµ=10 Te. V ≈ 90 hits Eµ=6 Pe. V ≈ 1000 hits
