A novel microstructure based model to explain the IceCube ice anisotropy
A novel microstructure based model to explain the IceCube ice anisotropy
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory instruments about 1 km$^3$ of deep, glacial ice at the geographic South Pole using 5160 photomultipliers to detect Cherenkov light of charged relativistic particles. Most of IceCube's science goals rely heavily on an ever more precise understanding of the optical properties of the instrumented ice. A …
