IceCube's in-ice radio extension: Status and results

Abstract: In 2006–2010, several radio frequency (RF) detectors and calibration equipment were deployed as part of the IceCube array at depths between 5 and 1400m in preparation for a future large scale GZK neutrino detector. IceCube''s deep holes and well-established data handling system provide a unique opportunity for deep-ice RF detection studies at the South Pole. We will present verification and calibration results as well as a status-review of ongoing analyses such as ice-properties, RF noise and reconstruction algorithms. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
