IceCube sensitivity for low-energy neutrinos from nearby supernovae

Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

This paper describes the response of the IceCube neutrino telescope located at the geographic south pole to outbursts of MeV neutrinos from the core collapse of nearby massive stars. IceCube was completed in December 2010 forming a lattice of 5160 photomul ...

Constraints on the extremely-high energy cosmic neutrino flux with the IceCube 2008-2009 data

Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

We report on a search for extremely-high energy neutrinos with energies greater than 10(6) GeV using the data taken with the IceCube detector at the South Pole. The data was collected between April 2008 and May 2009 with the half-completed IceCube array. T ...

Search for relativistic magnetic monopoles with the AMANDA-II neutrino telescope

Matthias Wolf, Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Xiaoxia Bai

We present the search for Cherenkov signatures from relativistic magnetic monopoles in data taken with the AMANDA-II detector, a neutrino telescope deployed in the Antarctic ice cap at the Geographic South Pole. The non-observation of a monopole signal in ...

Large variations in southern hemisphere biomass burning during the last 650 years

Jérôme Chappellaz

Methane is one of the important greenhouse gases accumulating in the atmosphere today. The increased loading over the past 2 centuries is thought to be the result of increased anthropogenic emissions. Here we present records of the δ13C of CH4 in firn air ...

Calibration and characterization of the IceCube photomultiplier tube

Xiaoxia Bai

Over 5000 PMTs are being deployed at the South Pole to compose the IceCube neutrino observatory. Many are placed deep in the ice to detect Cherenkov light emitted by the products of high-energy neutrino interactions, and others are frozen into tanks on the ...

The IceCube data acquisition system: Signal capture, digitization, and timestamping

Xiaoxia Bai

IceCube is a km-scale neutrino observatory under construction at the South Pole with sensors both in the deep ice (InIce) and on the surface (IceTop). The sensors, called Digital Optical Modules (DOMs). detect, digitize and timestamp the signals from optic ...

Determination of the atmospheric neutrino flux and searches for new physics with AMANDA-II

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Levent Demirörs, Xiaoxia Bai

The AMANDA-II detector, operating since 2000 in the deep ice at the geographic South Pole, has accumulated a large sample of atmospheric muon neutrinos in the 100 GeV to 10 TeV energy range. The zenith angle and energy distribution of these events can be u ...

Searches For A Diffuse Flux Of Extraterrestrial Muon Neutrinos With The Icecube Observatory

The IceCube observatory is currently being contructed at the South Pole. Scheduled to be completed in 2011, it already offers a large increase in sensitivity over its predecessor, the AMANDA detector. This increase is expected to improve significantly the ...

Shock-induced metallic iron nanoparticles in olivine-rich Martian meteorites

Philippe Gillet, Pierre Beck

Magnetic anomalies observed by the Mars Global Surveyor mission are attributed to crustal remanence. SNC (Shergotty-Nakhla-Chassigny) meteorites are likely samples of the Martian crust and are amenable to mineralogical and magnetic measurements essential t ...

PLP$^2$: Autoregressive modeling of auditory-like 2-D spectro-temporal patterns

Hynek Hermansky

The temporal trajectories of the spectral energy in auditory critical bands over 250~ms segments are approximated by an all-pole model, the time-domain dual of conventional linear prediction. This quarter-second auditory spectro-temporal pattern is further ...
