Description
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic kilometer detector in the ice of the South Pole for the detection of neutrinos with energies from GeV to PeV, which has been fully in operation since 2010. In the 2025/2026 Antarctic summer season, the detector will receive a low-energy upgrade by adding about 700 new optical modules. Several new digital optical modules with multiple PMTs and calibration devices will be deployed in a high-density configuration in the center of the IceCube array. The Upgrade will improve the detection of GeV-scale neutrinos which in turn will lead to more precise measurements of fundamental physics phenomena such as neutrino oscillations and beyond the Standard Model physics. This talk will give an overview of the new designs and the status of their testing, the planned installation and also discuss the prospects for the exciting measurements to be expected with the Upgrade.
