Development of a new trigger for exotic particle searches with IceCube — •Timo Stürwald for the IceCube collaboration — Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Deutschland
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a km3 scale Cherenkov light detector that also searches for signatures of particles beyond the standard model. The upcoming IceCube-Gen2 will improve the sensitivity for these searches due to an increased detection volume. The better sensitivity allows for the detection of faint signatures of exotic particles including Magnetic Monopoles, Q-Balls and Nuclearites which directly or indirectly produce light. In this talk we present the development of a new trigger that combines and improves searches for exotic particles from sub-relativistic to relativistic speeds. This new trigger includes the analysis of isolated single hits that so far are not included in any IceCube trigger.
