Workshop on Muon Analyses in IceCube

2 May 2015, 14:30 → 3 May 2015, 18:30 US/Central

Supernova (Madison, WI)

Workshop on Muon Analyses in IceCube

The scope of this short Workshop is to discuss the current status of atmospheric muon analyses in IceCube, in terms of physics and experimental systematic uncertainties. The aim is to learn how and whether it is possible to use muons to constrain atmospheric neutrino properties at high energy, and to lay down a working plan for the next year for a better understanding of our muon data sample.
