Description of Service work
We generated DeepCore/PINGU MuonGun files and with our 10 card GPU farm. 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 have conducted numerous interviews (national in Denmark and international as well) on the radio, news, and internet, as well as local MasterClasses on offer to regional High School classes. At some point, Tom Stuttard will look at doing the glide-in so that the NBI GPUs can be fully integrated into the distributed simprod setup.
For IceCube-Gen2 Rameez is working on the mDOM reconstruction in order to provide accurate reco estimates and a comparison to a phase-I deployment with pDOMs.
