A model independent parametrization of the optical properties of the refrozen IceCube drill holes

A model independent parametrization of the optical properties of the refrozen IceCube drill holes

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory deployed 5160 digital optical modules (DOMs) in a cubic kilometer of deep, glacial ice below the geographic South Pole, recording the Cherenkov light of passing charged particles. While the optical properties of the undisturbed ice are nowadays well understood, the properties of the refrozen drill holes …
