The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the geographic South Pole instruments a gigaton of glacial Antarctic ice with over 5000 photosensors. The detector, by now running for over a decade, will be upgraded with seven new densely instrumented strings. The project focuses on the improvement of low-energy and oscillation physics sensitivities as well as re-calibration of the existing detector. Over the last few years we developed a Precision Optical Calibration Module (POCAM) providing self-monitored, isotropic, nanosecond, light pulses for optical calibration of large-volume detectors. Over 20 next-generation POCAMs will be calibrated and deployed in the IceCube Upgrade in order to reduce existing detector systematics. We report a general overview of the POCAM instrument, its performance and calibration procedures.

    hep-ex 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Monte Carlo sensitivity study projects that the IceCube Upgrade with DeepCore can detect Earth matter effects at 5.5-7.1 sigma, reject a uniform Earth at 2.4 sigma, and measure the Earth's mass to about 10% precision.
