Invited review article: IceCube: an instrument for neutrino astronomy

F Halzen, SR Klein - Review of Scientific Instruments, 2010 - pubs.aip.org
Neutrino astronomy beyond the Sun was first imagined in the late 1950s; by the 1970s, it
was realized that kilometer-scale neutrino detectors were required. The first such instrument …
