Precision self-monitoring calibration module for the IceCube Upgrade — •Tobias Andreas Pertl and Felix Henningsen — Technische Universität München

The IceCube observatory is a large-volume neutrino observatory at the geographic South Pole. The IceCube Upgrade aims to improve the low-energy and oscillation physics sensitivities as well as re-calibrate the existing detector. This upgrade consists of seven new densely instrumented strings with various different optical and calibration modules. A novel type of precision optical calibration module -- or POCAM -- for large-volume detectors has been developed and will be deployed as part of the IceCube Upgrade. We report on the design, calibration and production status.
