Description of Service work
We are generating PINGU CORSIKA files and continuous long-frame CORSIKA with our 10 card GPU farm. PI Koskinen continues as co-convenor of the low-en/Oscillation working group. NBI is responsible for refining and maintaining the correlated noise simulation, which is a major factor in improving sensitivity to the lowest energy regions. Morten and Jason host the International IceCube MasterClass as well as separate local MasterClasses on offer to regional High School classes. Eva Hansen is developing new background rejection techniques for low-energy analyses.
