Faculty:
D. Jason Koskinen : Co-Convenor of low-en WG, PINGU and low-energy simulation, simulation coordination representative for low-en WG, tau neutrino appearance, 100% IceCube
[Subir Sarkar, representing Oxford U. on ICB, is also Niels Bohr Professor, spending 50% time at NBI, 2013-18]
Scientists and Post Docs:
N.A.
Ph.D. Students:
Joakim Sandroos: Low-energy particle identification techniques, 100% IceCube. Mr. Sandroos is applying for grad school options and is only expected to spend ~40% of 1-year working on IceCube, hence the 0.4 FTE
Thesis/Analysis topics: None
Michael Larson: Maintainer and developer of the Vuvuzela noise model, PINGU CORSIKA simulation, 100% IceCube
Thesis/Analysis topics: Tau neutrino appearance in DeepCore
Morten Medici: In addition to University course work, Mr. Medici is looking at the charge characteristics of IceCube noise, and will start analyzing DeepCore with an eye towards dark matter searches.
Thesis/Analysis topics: Dark matter search in DeepCore
Diploma/Master Students: N/A
Description of Service work
With access to the local Tier 3 cluster, we will focus on generation of low-energy signal MC that uses the GENIE neutrino-generator and direct photon propagation using GPUs. In addition, we are exploring PINGU CORSIKA generation. PI Koskinen will continue as co-convenor of the low-en working group. NBI is responsible for refining and maintaining the correlated noise simulation, which is a major factor in improving sensitivity to the lowest energy regions.
