UWRF General M&O (non-science) IceCube Responsibilities and Contributions:
UWRF Group’s major responsibilities and contributions towards maintenance and operations of the IceCube experiment include:
· Education and Outreach activities including intensive research experiences for undergraduates, math and science enrichment for underrepresented groups in the UWRF Upward Bound Program, and graduate level classes for in-service high school teachers featuring IcecCube science
· Providing replacement parts (frames, sunshades, dom holders and hardware) for IceTop deployments
· Calibration of IceTop tanks with muon tagger
· Development of tools for cosmic ray simulation thinning and unthinning for high energy showers
· Investigating the effect of snow surrounding and on top of IceTop tanks using TankTop
· Photon transport in-ice using graphics processor units
