your own IceCube simulation • # events = ∫ Area Timefn{lm/ln } • Input: A (Em) from astro-ph/0305196 Cuts: • length of muon track > 300 m • number of channels as a function of zenith angle q • implemented as integration limits on the muon • range and energy as a function of zenith
Neutrinos • oscillate • interact • regenerate • tau decay
