Faculty:

Xinhua Bai (100% effort) – Institution lead, study of new reconstruction techniques, mentoring Ph.D. student, education/outreach, improve high energy EAS energy and composition reconstruction, IceCube-Gen2. (Note: Dr. Bai has lab resources and enough experience to make contributions to IceCube-Gen2. However, detailed work still needs to be discussed.)

 


Grad Students:

Emily Dvorak (100% effort) –The two foci of her work are: (1) To develop software tools, jointly with researchers in the IceCube Cosmic-Ray Working Group, for the reconstruction of air shower events that trigger both the IceTop and in-ice array but with the shower core landing outside the IceTop array; (2) To search and measure prompt muon yield in high energy cosmic ray induced showers with a new method based on the stochastic energy loss by muon bundles.
