IceCube PMT HV Base Development Status
نویسنده
چکیده
B. The “New Iseg Base” employs essentially the same HV circuitry as the Old Iseg Base, however, it is distinct from the old version in that it implements a splitground configuration using an isolation amplifier, whereby two DC-isolated grounds are created: the “noisy section” consisting of the digital interface and the oscillator for HV generation and the “analog” section consisting of the cathode and the dynode chain circuitry.

The ICECUBE prototype string in AMANDA
The Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) is a high-energy neutrino telescope. It is a lattice of optical modules (OM) installed in the clear ice below the South Pole Station. Each OM contains a photomultiplier tube (PMT) that detects photons of Cherenkov light generated in the ice by muons and electrons. ICECUBE is a cubickilometer-sized expansion of AMANDA currently being built ...
متن کاملStatus and Results from AMANDA/IceCube STATUS AND RESULTS FROM AMANDA/ICECUBE
IceCube is a cubic kilometer-scale neutrino telescope under construction at the South Pole since the austral summer 2004/2005. At the moment it is taking data with 22 deployed strings. The full detector is expected to be completed in 2011 with up to 80 strings each holding 60 digital optical modules. The progenitor detector AMANDA has been operating at the same site since 1997 and is still runn...
متن کاملNeutrino Astronomy at the South Pole
IceCube is currently being built deep in the glacial ice beneath the South Pole. In its second year of construction, it is already larger than its predecessor, AMANDA. AMANDA continues to collect high energy neutrino and muon data as an independent detector until it is integrated with IceCube. After introducing both detectors, recent results from AMANDA and a status report on IceCube are presen...
