Dawn Williams – Institutional Lead, Analysis Coordinator
Marcos Santander – Multimessenger searches for neutrino sources
Ph.D. Students:
Sreetama Goswami – Monitoring with Moon shadow analysis (starting work, still taking classes now). Monitoring shifts (starting in 2019). Correlation studies with hard X-rays.
Ava Ghadimi: Correlation studies with GeV gamma rays. Monitoring shifts (starting in 2019)
UA General M&O (non-science) IceCube Responsibilities and Contributions:
The Alabama Group’s major responsibilities and contributions towards maintenance and operations of the IceCube experiment include:
· Major responsibility for the following calibration group activities: flasher data collection and flasher analysis support, baseline and charge calibration
· Major responsibility for tau neutrino analysisAnalysis: The main analysis focus at the University of Alabama is searching for tau neutrinos and multimessenger searches for neutrino sources.
Computing Resources
2019 CPU Cores GPU Cards CPU Cores GPU Cards Pledged resources in the IceCube common cluster 6 (Tesla K20m) 6 (Tesla K20m) These GPUs are being used locally for flasher data ice model fitting and targeted muon simulation.
