Procedures and descriptions for the IceCube good run list have been developed by C.Rott. We are maintaining the good run list and perform associated long-term data-quality and stability tasks. We provide an interface for easy accessibility of the run information in a digested format. D evelop science analysis tools for correlated neutrino searches based upon electromagnetic parameters for each burst (M. Stamatikos). We maintain the vertical events filter ( J. Davis ) and contribute to DeepCore development of reconstruction/veto algorithms (J. Davis).
Our analysis efforts are focused in several areas. The first a search for neutrinos from Dark Matter self-annihilations in the Galactic halo. The second is a search for muon neutrino disappearance effects in the vertical up-going events sample. We use the same sample also to search for Earth WIMP signals. We are also performing searches for correlated neutrino emission from gamma ray bursts (GRBs) .
We use the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) for data processing and to production of Monte Carlo event samples.
