冰立方中微子观测站的第一批传感器于2004-2005年夏季在南极部署，自2005年2月以来一直在产生数据。一串埋在冰中的60个传感器和一个表面阵列的8个冰切伦科夫坦克采取数据，直到2005年12月，当部署下一组字符串和坦克开始。我们分析了这些数据，证明系统的性能达到或超过了设计要求。整个阵列的时间确定优于3纳秒的相对精度，允许重建μ子轨道和光爆发的冰，在表面阵列的空气淋浴和事件的表面和深冰探测器分离高达2.5公里的巧合。(c)2006 Elsevier B. V.保留所有权利。
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. One string of 60 sensors buried in the ice and a surface array of eight ice Cherenkov tanks took data until December 2005 when deployment of the next set of strings and tanks began. We have analyzed these data, demonstrating that the performance of the system meets or exceeds design requirements. Times are determined across the whole array to a relative precision of better than 3 ns, allowing reconstruction of muon tracks and light bursts in the ice, of air-showers in the surface array and of events seen in coincidence by surface and deep-ice detectors separated by up to 2.5 km.
