The IceCube Upgrade: Trigger Studies and First Results from the 25/26 Deployment Campaign at the South Pole
ORAL
Abstract
The IceCube Upgrade is an extension of the existing IceCube Neutrino Observatory which will be deployed in the 2025/2026 austral summer. The instrumentation volume, consisting of seven new strings, will be 200 times more densely instrumented than IceCube to target lower energy atmospheric neutrino interactions. The additional strings feature new optical modules, which will more than triple the number of PMT channels in the detector. In this talk, I describe the new detector configuration, the in ice triggering scheme, and discuss the first look at data from the new strings.
