Performance increase due to new optical modules for IceCube Upgrade — •Wing Yan Ma for the IceCube collaboration — DESY, Zeuthen, Germany

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer Cherenkov detector at the South Pole. The planned upgrade to IceCube's neutrino detection capability relies on the deployment of a denser array of Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) inside the current DeepCore volume. The addition instrumentation will rely on a new generation of DOMs with improve detection efficiency as well as directional resolution for Cherenkov photons. In this talk, the IceCube Upgrade project is outlined and the expected performance increase due to the new generation of DOMs are presented.
