Muon Veto Study Comparing pDOM and mDOM for IceCube-Gen2 — •Julian Saffer for the IceCube-Gen2 collaboration — ECAP, Erlangen, Deutschland

IceCube is a large neutrino detector located at the geographic South Pole. An important part in many neutrino analyses for background reduction is the vetoing of atmospheric muons. For the currently planned IceCube extension, IceCube-Gen2, various detector geometries and Digital Optical Module (DOM) designs have been proposed. This talk presents a study in which two DOMs, the pDOM and mDOM, are compared in terms of their veto potential for atmospheric muons using the current baseline geometry for IceCube-Gen2.
