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:

·   Primary institutional responsibility for analysis coordination

·   Major responsibility for the following calibration group activities: flasher data collection and flasher analysis support, baseline and charge calibration

·   Major responsibility for tau neutrino analysis

Analysis: The main analysis focus at the University of Alabama is searching for tau neutrinos.

Now that a postdoc is resident at UA, we are working with Gonzalo Merino and UA OIT to try and connect these machines to the cluster. In the meanwhile, these GPUs are being used locally for flasher data ice model fitting and targeted muon simulation.
