The Shadow of the Moon in IceCube

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2019-08-13 v1

Abstract

IceCube is the world's largest neutrino telescope, recently completed at the South Pole. As a proof of pointing accuracy, we look for the image of the Moon as a deficit in down-going cosmic ray muons, using techniques similar to those used in IceCube's astronomical point-source searches.
