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

Analysis: The main analysis focus at the University of Alabama is searching for tau neutrinos and multimessenger searches for neutrino sources.
