Summary:

The UC Berkeley group aims at making decisive contributions in three principal areas of analysis: searches for a neutrino signal from objects known in both space and time, searches for a diffuse neutrino flux from unresolved sources, and measurements of atmospheric neutrino oscillations . We will pursue the search for neutrinos coincident with core-collapse supernova explosions, and use very high-energy neutrinos from GRBs to search for Lorentz-invariance violation (LIV). We will analyze energies and arrival directions of atmospheric muon neutrinos to set limits on LIV parameters . In the diffuse analysis our work is focused on understanding/mitigating detector and simulation systematics to the high level required for an unambiguous detection of an astrophysical neutrino flux and for high-precision oscillation measurements . A major part of this is measurement of ice properties and simulation of photon propagation. Our service work is focused on calibration (low and high level) and detector monitoring.
