Project description
The IceCube detector has already provided a variety of world-leading scientific results in the field of
astroparticle physics. These range from extragalactic high-energy neutrino point sources and cosmic rays
to neutrino physics and the search for big bang relics. Over the next 3 years, the IceCube Upgrade will be
deployed into the ice of the South Pole as a densely instrumented extension of the detector.
Implementation of the Upgrade is the main goal of this proposal. In addition, R&D work will be performed on
planned future extensions that will significantly increase the sensitivity of the detector.
