Overall summary of M&O responsibilities and analysis topics
The PI at Yale, Reina Maruyama has recently moved from UW-Madison to Yale University. Her graduate student, Ben Riedel, is leading the effort to incorporate simulation of low energy supernova neutrinos into the IceSim framework. Per agreement with UW-Madison, Ben will obtain his PhD from Wisconsin however Maruyama will supervise him until he graduates. He is also coupling the Supernova DAQ into the framework. For his thesis, he will analyze the supernova data. The postdoc, Matt Kauer, is working 50% as the run coordinator and 50% on DM-Ice. Antonia Hubbard (NSF Graduate Fellow) is looking for coincidence events between DM-Ice and IceCube. These coincident events offer opportunities for improving reconstruction and low energy threshold studies. As the transition to Yale completes, the PI plans to continue her work in supernova detection and explore synergies between IceCube and DM-Ice with Yale students and postdocs. Funding to support this work will be sought from NSF and other sources.
