Eµ=10 TeV ≈ 90 hits Eµ=6 PeV ≈ 1000 hits
Energy reconstructionSmall detectors: Muon energy is difficult to measure because of fluctuations in dE/dx IceCube: Integration over large sampling+ scattering of light reduces the fluctutions energy loss.

Design goals
• IceCube was designed to detect to neutrinos over a wider range of energies and all flavors.
• If one would wish to build a detector to detect primarily PeV or EeV neutrinos, one would obviously end up with a different detector.

A remark on the side for EeV fansThe typical light cylinder generated by a muon of 1E11 eV is 20 m, 1EeV 400 m, 1E18 eV it is about 600 to 700 m. This scaling gives a hint of how one could design a E>EeVoptimized geometry in ice could be. (String spacing ≈ 1 km)
