TL;DR: The first sensors of the IceCube neutrino observatory were deployed at the South Pole during the austral summer of 2004-2005 and have been producing data since February 2005.

TL;DR: The design, production, and calibration of the IceCube digital optical module (DOM), the cable systems, computing hardware, and the methodology for drilling and deployment are described, including the online triggering and data filtering systems that select candidate neutrino and cosmic ray events for analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) are used to detect, digitize and timestamp the signals from optical Cherenkov-radiation photons at the South Pole.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the laboratory characterization and calibration of the 10-in. diameter R7081-02 made by Hamamatsu Photonics before deployment of the IceCube neutrino observatory.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a concept for an instrument to measure the thickness of the ice shell on a planetary body such as Jupiter's moon Europa, which would be a passive receiver of a naturally occurring signal generated by interactions of deep penetrating cosmic ray neutrinos.
