Our analysis efforts are focused in several areas. The first a search for extraterrestrial neutrinos, especially cascades. The second is a search for atypical cosmic-ray showers; events with high transverse momentum muons in showers and photon-initiated showers with a very low muon content. We are also interested in upgoing muon pairs, a signature for new physics (the techniques for this are similar to those used for high transverse momentum muons.
We use the National Energy Research Supercomputer Center (NERSC) ‘PDSF (Parallel Distributed Systems Facility) to produce Monte Carlo event samples; this has mostly been cascade signal events. J. Kiryluk maintains the PDSF software installation and coordinates this production. The hardware is maintained by NERSC.
