Description
As the development of IceCube continues, a novel optical module (OM) for IceCube-Gen2 is being developed, that incorporates lessons learned from the development of modules for IceCube Upgrade while adapting to the reduced borehole diameter.
The presentation will provide a brief introduction to four (of many) aspects involved in the development of the Gen2OM prototype.
The concept of gel pads, which are a key component of performance and integrity and associated prototyping; photomultiplier studies; simulation studies for OM performance; and a method for estimating the module background caused by radioactive scintillation in the pressure vessel.
