  • The transmission of the glass of the pressure sphere is about 90% in the spectral range between 400 and 600 nm; the 50% cutoff on the UV side is at about 365 nm.
  • From the distribution of the time differences between subsequent events, the dead time of the DAQ is estimated to be about 12%.
  • part is due to noise hits and the bulge after the main distributiontoafterpulses?.about6% .
  • The effective scattering length leff is about 24 m.
  • The attenuation length latt which characterizes the decrease of the photon flux as a function of the distance is about 27 m.
  • These values are averages over the full depth interval covered by AMANDA-B4. The variation of attenuation over this depth range is within ...
