Abstract
With the completion of IceCube neutrino observatory in 18th December 2011, scientist will be able to operate the telescope fully in order to solve their curiosities. The study of how light travels between DOMs gives important information to help making models. Because photons can mainly be absorbed or scattered before they hit the detectors, it is essential to understand how these two factors work within the model. This paper will focus on how the variation of scattering length and absorption length change the results of photon detection, some positive results have been found from this study.

Energy Simulation and Reconstruction in String 63 for the IceCube Neutrino Detector.
Bouckoms, Sarah (2009)The remote neutrino telescope, IceCube, lies beneath the surface at the South Pole in Antarctica. It consists of a series of strings each equipped with 60 Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) every 17 meters[4]. The strings ... -
Time distribution analysis for flasher data and simulations in the IceCube neutrino detector
Sarah, Bouckoms (University of Canterbury. Physics and Astronomy, 2011)The IceCube neutrino observatory is located in the deep glacial ice below the South Pole. IceCube consists of over 5, 000 photomultiplier tubes regularly spaced throughout a cubic kilometre volume of ice. The photomultiplier ... -
