| Muon track reconstruction and veto performance with D-Egg sensor for IceCube-Gen2 | |
| The planned extension of IceCube, a cubic-kilometer sized neutrino observatory, aims at increasing the rate of observed astrophysical neutrinos by up to a factor of 10. The discovery of a high energy neutrino point source is thereby one of its primary science goals. Improving the sensitivity of the individual modules is a necessity to achieve the desired design goal of IceCube-Gen2. A way of improving their sensitivity is the increase of photo cathode area. The proposed module D-Egg will utilize two 8" Hamamatsu R5912 photomultiplier tubes (PMT). The increased quantum efficiency of the used PMT yields a comparable sensitivity to the 10" PMT used by IceCube, which essentially leads to an increase of sensitivity almost by a factor of 2 with a full solid angle acceptance as the PMTs are facing upwards and downwards. A simulation study is presented that indicates improvement in angular resolution of current muon reconstruction techniques due to the new sensor design. Since the proposed module is equipped with an | |
