Thesis/analysis topics: Backgrounds for DM-Ice: Coincidence Events Between IceCube and DM-Ice


Overall summary of M&O responsibilities and analysis topics

A postdoc TBD and Antonia Hubbard (NSF Graduate Fellow, now paid for from Yale) is looking at coincidence events between DM-Ice and IceCube. These coincident events offer opportunities for improving reconstruction, especially for low energy events, as well as threshold studies. The PI at Yale, Maruyama, will continue her work in supernova detection and explore synergies between IceCube and DM-Ice with Yale students and postdocs. Funding to support5 this work will be sought from NSF and other sources.
