Acoustic detection of high energy neutrinos in ice: Status and results from the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (2009)

Descamps, Freija, Collaboration, For The IceCube

The feasibility and specific design of an acoustic neutrino detection array at the South Pole depend on the acoustic properties of the ice. The South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS) has been built...

Search for point sources of high energy neutrinos with final data from AMANDA-II (2009)

Abbasi, R, Ackermann, M, Adams, J, Descamps, Freija, Ryckbosch, Dirk, ...

We present a search for point sources of high energy neutrinos using 3.8 yr of data recorded by AMANDA-II during 2000-2006. After reconstructing muon tracks and applying selection criteria designed...

The IceCube data acquisition system: Signal capture, digitization, and timestamping (2009)

Abbasi, R, Ackermann, M, Adams, J, Descamps, Freija, Feusels, Tom, ...

IceCube is a km-scale neutrino observatory under construction at the South Pole with sensors both in the deep ice (InIce) and on the surface (IceTop). The sensors, called Digital Optical Modules...

Measurement of sound speed versus depth in Antarctic ice with the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (2008)

Descamps, Freija, Collaboration, For The IceCube

The feasibility and design of an acoustic neutrino detection array in the South Pole ice depend on the acoustic properties of the ice. The South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS) was built to evaluate...

SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLE SPECTRUM ON 2006 DECEMBER 13 DETERMINED BY IceTop (2008)

Abbasi, R, Ackermann, M, Adams, J, Descamps, Freija, Ryckbosch, Dirk, Van Overloop, Arne

On 2006 December 13 the IceTop air shower array at the South Pole detected a major solar particle event. By numerically simulating the response of the IceTop tanks, which are thick Cerenkov detectors...

Status of the SOUTH POLE ACOUSTIC TEST SETUP (2007)

Boser, S, Bohm, C, Descamps, Freija, Fischer, J, Hallgren, A, Heller, R, ...

Due to the low flux of ultrahigh energetic neutrinos induced in interactions of cosmic rays with the cosmic microwave background, very large instrumented volumes and new registration techniques are...

The South Pole Acoustic Test Setup: Calibrations and lake test (2007)

Boser, S, Bohm, C, Descamps, Freija, Fischer, J, Hallgren, A, Heller, R, ...

In order to detect the small neutrino fluxes expected at ultra-high energies, large volumes of materials have to be instrumented with inexpensive but sensitive acoustic sensors. The South Pole...

SPATS - an acoustic array at the South Pole (2007)

Hundertmark, S, Boser, S, Bohm, C, Descamps, Freija, Fischer, J, Hallgren, A, ...

The detection of extraterrestrial EHE neutrinos requires detection volumes at least one order of magnitude larger than currently constructed km(3) optical neutrino detectors. In ice, it is...
