Introduction

neutrinos and cosmic rays
  • origin of the highest energy cosmic rays
  • still a mistery
  • transition from galactic to extra-galactic
  • at the ankle change of composition
  • acceleration mechanisms hadronic or
  • electromagnetic ?

acceleration in energetic sources
  • Bottom-Up hadronic scenario
  • cosmic accelerator
  • p (p or ?) ? ?? X ? ?e ,?? X
  • ? ?o X ? ? X
  • Flux ? E?-2 (fermi acceleration)

neutrino astronomy
  • neutrinos are not deflected by magnetic fields
    and are not absorbed during propagation
  • for the same reason they are very difficult to
    detect need large volume and long exposures
  • detection of cosmic neutrinos would demonstrate
    the hadronic nature of acceleration mechanisms
  • detection of cosmic neutrinos in coincidence
    with TeV gamma rays could give insight on
    internal source mechanisms
  • cosmic neutrinos should exist at least for
    perspective or guaranteed sources

7
galactic ? rays and neutrinos ?
shock wave from supernova remnants
excites surrounding molecular clouds and produce
? rays indirect evidence for the acceleration of
protons at the level required to explain galactic
cosmic rays ?
8
neutrino astronomy
  • detection of neutrinos from point sources
  • all-sky searches
  • stacking AGN classes
  • in coincidence with TeV ? ray flares
    (multi-wavelength campaign)
  • in coincidence with GRB events (extra-galactic
    neutrinos)
  • low energy neutrinos from Supernovæ
  • neutrinos from WIMP annihilation in the Sun and
    the center of Earth
  • detection of neutrinos from diffuse sources and
    from cosmological times
  • neutrinos from galactic plane
  • perspective neutrinos associated to
    extra-galactic cosmic rays (Waxman-Bachall upper
    limit)
  • probe models for acceleration and cosmological
    evolution
  • GZK neutrinos
  • measurement of spectrum and composition of
    cosmic rays
  • huge background of muons and irreducible
    background of neutrinos
  • need to understand cosmic rays

DOM Requirements
  • Fast timing resolution lt 5 ns DOM-to-DOM on LE
    time.
  • Pulse resolution lt 10 ns
  • Optical sens. 330 nm to 500 nm
  • Dynamic range - 1000 pe / 10 ns - 10,000 pe /
    1 us.
  • Low noise lt 500 Hz background
  • High gain O(107) PMT
  • Charge resolution P/V gt 2
  • Low power 3.75 W
  • Ability to self-calibrate
  • Field-programmable HV generated internal to unit.
  • Flasher board capable of emitting optical
    pulses O(20) ns wide gt 109 ?/pulse
  • 10000 psi external

18

  • noise rate variations during hole re-freezing
  • temperature stabilization during re-freezing

19
in-ice data acquisition
DOM Mainboard
This is the core of the DAQ. It contains an
Altera Excalibur ARM CPU / 400 k-gate FPGA which
controls most aspects of the acquisition and
communications with the surface. All aspects
except bootloader program remotely
reloadable. Fast waveform capture via 1 of 2
ATWD ASICs which capture 4 ch at 200 MSPS 800
MSPS, 128 samples deep and 10-bits wide. ATWDs
operate in ping-pong mode true deadtimeless
operation possible. 3 ch are high, medium, low
gain (14-bit effective dynamic range). Slow
waveform capture from 40 MHz 10-bit FADC which
captures long slow pulses for 6.4 usec. Digital
communication to surface using electrical pairs
two DOMs per pair. Electrical penetrators more
robust. Communication bandwidth 1 Mbit.
DOM contains local free-running oscillator. DOM
DOM clock synchronization via RAPCal mechanism
which involves exchange of analog pulses from
surface to DOM and back to surface. This
coordinates local clock with global surface
clocks slaved to GPS-driven master.
DFL measurements (easy synchronous source) and
measurements in the ice (harder no synchronous
source) along real cable indicate precision of
RAPCal mechanism is better than 2.5 ns.
20
surface data acquisition
  • DOMs independently collect and buffer up to 8k
    waveforms.
  • DOM communication handled at surface by DOR card
    hosted by standard industrial PCs called
    DOMHub.
  • Beyond Linux driver DAQ software is a distributed
    set of Java applications.
  • Data is time coordinated and sorted by processing
    nodes which may in future perform data reduction.
  • Triggers take sorted streams request to event
    builder to grab data from string processors and
    IceTop data handlers to make events.
  • Note data from deep-ice and surface arrays
    participate in triggers and are bundled together
    at event level.
  • Online filter at pole selects interesting
    events for transmission north over satellite
    (limited bandwidth).
  • All data taped raw data rate currently 70 GB /
    day.

21
local coincidence modes
DOMs contain 2 wire pair (UP, DN) for exchanging
LC signals between adjacent DOMs on string. DOM
FPGA trigger logic can abort waveform capture on
absence of one or both signals. LC signals are
binary-coded digital DOMs can relay LC info
thru in this manner LC can span up to 4 DOMs
distant in either direction. IceCube currently
running in NN mode that is DOM trigger requires
adjacent hit (red circles) as shown in case A
to right. In this mode B and D would not
trigger, C would trigger only 1 and 2 and reject
4. This has advantage of (a) dramatically
reducing amount of data sent over 1 Mbit link to
surface (see figure) and (b) makes array
virtually noiseless. Disadvantage is that real
photon hits are lost in ice. IceCube baseline
operate in soft LC mode waveforms suppressed
/wo/ LC requirement, all hit timestamps (12
bytes) sent to surface.

single photoelectron with AWTD
10 pulses are superimposed
  • single photoelectron pulses (SPE) recorded in 6
    DOMs during the final acceptance test.
  • All PMT gains are set to 1E7.
  • Threshold at 0.3 SPE
  • FWHM13.6 ns

23
pulse shapes taken in situ
  • Pulse shapes are recorded with three ATWD
    channels for high dynamic range coverage
  • Runs of 10 flasherboard pulses at 5 different
    brightness settings are shown.
  • High saturation in channel 0 (high gain), but
    good coverage of the brightest pulses in channel
    2 (low gain).

24
ATWD and FADC
  • Pulse shapes are recorded with ATWD and with
    FADC.
  • Shown is an average flasher pulse and a single
    shot superimposed at 125 m distance.
  • The ATWD captures 400 ns of this pulse (top).
    The full waveform is recorded in the FADC
    (bottom).

Here the flasher is 21-55 and the receiver is
29-55 (neighboring string, 125m away). This is a
50 nsec pulse, maximum brightness, six
horizontal LEDs flashing.The smooth curve shows
the average of several thousand events.   One
example waveform is superimposed.

apparatus calibrations
  • time calibrations
  • synchronization of DOM oscillator to surface
    clock (every 2 sec) - RAPCal
  • phase correction of actual pulse wrt the latched
    clock value ( 1 tick)
  • PMT transit time correction (measured every
    month) DMCal
  • amplitude calibrations
  • measured every month by DOMCal ATWD/FADC bin
    width (nsec) and amplitude (mV). Using gain we
    get p.e.
  • geometry calibrations
  • energy calibrations
  • IceTop calibrations (VEM Vertical Muon

to conclude
  • AMANDA has seen no signal but produced good

  • IceCube will improve statistics, resolutions and
    will increase energy coverage
  • new simulation on-line and extended sensitivity

  • data coming from 9 strings and array increasing
    every year
  • IceTop will measure spectrum and composition of
    cormis rays
  • detector study and data analyses under way
  • data coming from 16 tanks
  • neutrino-gamma ray physics need collaboration
    and theoretical development
  • 21-23 strings/stations to be deployed this
    season
  • detector is very stable (only 3 DOMs are not
