Study of the angular resolution of the IceCube 59 string detector using the shadowing of cosmic rays by the Moon Hugo Stiebel Master Thesis, 45hp University of Wisconsin-Madison and Stockholm University January 13, 2011 Abstract The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a Cherenkov detector at the South Pole.
In a previous analysis, for the 40-string version of the IceCube detector, the statistical signi?cance of the Moon shadow was determined to 8?.
In this thesis the Moon shadow of the larger 59-string detector have been investigated.
Two di?erent analysis of the Moon shadow have been made, where the statistical signi?cance of the Moon shadow was determined to 12?.
The shadow appears to be ...
