IceCube Observatory - Schematic

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

IceCube Observatory - Schematic

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory instruments a volume of roughly one cubic kilometer of clear Antarctic ice with 5,160 digital optical modules (DOMs) at depths between 1,450 and 2,450 meters. The observatory includes a densely-instrumented subdetector, DeepCore, and a surface air shower array, IceTop. (Credit: IceCube/NSF)
