Description

DMIce-17 comprises of two 8.5kg NaI(Tl) scintillator crystals located beneath the IceCube array. We demonstrate that it is possible to distinguish muons detected in DMIce-17 from background, and then use this to determine the coincidence rate between high energy tracks measured in IceCube and said muons for data covering 2012-2020. Finally, we discuss how this may be used to improve the track reconstruction of IceCube.
