Description

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a gigaton-scale Cherenkov detector in full operation at the South Pole since 2010. I will discuss new, more advanced photosensors designed for the IceCube Phase 1 Upgrade, scheduled for deployment in 2022/23. Further improvements are under development for the future IceCube Gen2 Observatory, including more radical new designs which will be field-tested in the Phase 1 Upgrade.
