PMT characterization for the IceCube mDOM — •Jonas Reubelt, Judith Schneider, Daniel Runze, and Martin Majewski for the IceCube collaboration — Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, ECAP

In context of the planned IceCube Upgrade new kinds of optical modules are developed. One of them is the multi-PMT Digital Optical Module (mDOM) containing 24 three-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). In order to fully utilize the advantages of the multi-PMT concept, the performance of different PMT models is investigated. The results of extensive characterization of the two most promising candidates are presented.
