G067933 A Study of the Sensitivity of the IceCube Detector to a Supoernova Explosion An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Southern University In Partial Ful?llment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science by Aaron Simon Richard August, 2008 ABSTRACT The IceCube neutrino telescope under construction at the South Pole, consists of 4800 Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) attached to 80 vertical 1-km long strings arranged in a hexagonal shape.
This neutrino observatory will open an unexplored view of the universe spanning the energy range of 107 - 1015 eV.
This makes it possible to search for low energy neutrino bursts from supernova (SN) core ...
