Scientific paper

IceCube is a proposed detector for high energy neutrinos, to be located at the South Pole. The present design calls for the deployment of 4800 optical modules between depths of 1400 m and 2400 m, positioned on 80 strings of 60 modules each. The enclosed volume will be ~1 km3 . The construction and operation of a detector of this scale at a remote location pose a number of challenges for deployment, data acquisition and data handling. An overview of the plans for each of these is given. In particular, time calibration results obtained with a digital string in the AMANDA array indicate a local timing accuracy of 5 ns can be achieved with IceCube modules.
