Note:

SDSMT personnel update: (1) PhD student Emily Dvorak graduated with PhD in May 2020. (2) Dr. Bai’s FTE is increased from 0.5 to 1.0. (3) Diana Leon Silverio (joined SDSMT since 08/2019) remains on the project.

SDSMT SoW update: We will focus on (i) the study of fluctuations, (ii) maintaining and improving the IceTop-InIce combined reconstruction, and (iii) investigating new scientific and technical opportunities with IceCube/Upgrade/Gen2, which may lead to new proposals. We will start the study of prompt muons in ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray events only if a new postdoc is funded.
