  1. 82. The Run-by-Run Monte Carlo simulation for the ANTARES experiment
    Luigi Antonio Fusco (University of Bologna)
    15/09/2015, 17:30
    The data acquisition conditions in a marine environment are not stable and constant in time. Some biological and physical phenomena follow a seasonal evolution producing a periodical change of the rates registered in a neutrino telescope. Also variations in the sea current velocity affects the measured baseline value and the burst fraction on short time scales. Monte Carlo simulations of...

  2. 109. CORSIKA Modifications for Faster Background Generation
    Kyle Jero (University of Wisconsin - Madison)
    15/09/2015, 17:46
    CORSIKA is a simulation program for extensive air showers initiated by high energy cosmic particles. These air showers create the majority of the muons and neutrinos that neutrino telescopes detect and are considered a background signature in searches for astrophysical neutrinos. This contribution will discuss changes to CORSIKA which allow for faster high energy background simulation. The...

  3. 39. 3+N flavor neutrino propgation with NuSQuIDS
    Kyle Jero (University of Wisconsin - Madison)
    15/09/2015, 18:02
    We introduce the SQuIDS framework, which was designed to solve quantum mechanical evolution in the density matrix formalism in an efficient way. A specialization of this package for neutrino propagation, called $\nu$-SQuIDS, is showcased. Finally, we show how this new propagation scheme is being integrated into the IceCube MC software to add flexibility for analyzers.

  4. 25. Energy reconstruction of high energy muon and neutrino events in KM3NeT
    Ms EVANGELIA DRAKOPOULOU (N.C.S.R. Demokritos)
    15/09/2015, 18:18
    KM3NeT will be a European deep-sea infrastructure of neutrino telescopes covering a volume of several cubic kilometers at the Mediterranean Sea aiming to search for high energy neutrinos from galactic and extragalactic sources. This analysis focuses on muon neutrinos and muons coming from charged-current interactions. In large water Cherenkov detectors the reconstructed muon is used to...

  5. 69. Using the JPP software package in KM3NeT reconstruction algorithms
    Karel Melis (Nikhef)
    15/09/2015, 18:34
    KM3NeT is a future research infrastructure with a neutrino telescope in the abyss of the Mediterranean Sea. In KM3NeT, the open source JPP software package is primarily used in the data acquisition, offline triggering and calibration of the data send to shore. The available extensive set of JPP methods has been succesfully used for the development of fast, robust and detailed reconstruction...
