Summary:
The UC Berkeley group aims at making decisive contributions in two principal areas of analysis: searches for a neutrino signal from objects known in both space and time, and a search for a diffuse neutrino flux from unresolved sources. We will pursue the search for neutrinos coincident with core-collapse supernova explosions, and use very high-energy neutrinos from GRBs to search for Lorentz-invariance violation. In the diffuse analysis our work is focused on understanding/mitigating detector and simulation systematics to the high level required for an unambiguous detection of an astrophysical neutrino flux. A major part of this is measurement of ice properties and simulation of photon propagation. Our service work is focused on calibration (low and high level) and detector monitoring, both areas for which UCB has the primary institutional responsibility. On the construction side, UCB is responsible for deployment monitoring (PTS).
