Janet M. Conrad – Institution lead, member of the ICB, organizer of CosmicWatch outreach.
Carlos Argüelles -- M&O responsibility is in maintaining and improving his simulation code for use in the MEOWS. Specific projects are 1) speeding up nuSQuIDS, 2) supporting the transition from NuGen to LeptonInjector/LeptonWeighter, 3) developing new tools for estimation of muon backgrounds, 4) development and support of GolemFit.
Analysis Topics: Work on the multiyear high-energy sterile analysis (MEOWS). Work on the HESE BSM analyses. Write papers arising from the HESE taskforce work.
Spencer Axani – (5nd year) M&O responsibility is in Data Quality, Reconstruction and Simulation (2.5.1), presently concentrating on performing pass2 checks and Monte Carlo for the multiyear sterile neutrino analysis. Document work on new SPE parameterization. M&O responsibilities in R&D (2.1.2) consist of developing the desktop muon counters used for IceCube outreach.
Analysis Topic: IC86 sterile neutrino analysis using 7-year data set, aka the MEOWS 3+1.
Marjon Moulai – (4nd year) Study of atmospheric neutrino systematic uncertainties by means of the Barr parameterization. Implement the Barr parameterization in GolemFit in the MEOWS sample.
Analysis Topics: Develop neutrino decay analysis with the MEOWS sample.
Alejandro Diaz – (3rd year) Developing systematic treatment for MEOWS high-energy extension. Prepare first BSM-wg data repository.
Analysis Topics: Extended MEOWS.
