  • A reduction of the 15 atmospheric muon background below the expected 16 rate of neutrinos is provided by first vetoing events 17 in DeepCore with causally related hits in the veto 18 region.
  • 2.
  • Scheme of the veto principle: Illustration of the DeepCore hit center of gravity (COG), vertex time and particle speed per hit.
  • 3.
  • Particle speed probabilities per event for atmospheric muons (dotted line) and muons induced by atmospheric neutrinos inside DeepCore (solid line).
  • Utilizing the instru248 mented standard IceCube volume around DeepCore as 249 an active veto to identify and reject atmospheric muon 250 events improves the possibility of detecting neutrino 251 induced muons and cascades...
