Overall summary of M&O responsibilities and analysis topics
The PI is looking at coincidence events between DM-Ice and IceCube, and possible extention for DM-Ice. The PI is looking to find a suitable postdoc or graduate student to take this on. These coincident events offer opportunities for improving reconstruction, especially for low energy events, as well as threshold studies. The PI at Yale, Maruyama, will continue her work in supernova detection and explore synergies between IceCube and DM-Ice with Yale students and postdocs. Funding to supports this work will be sought from NSF and other sources.
