As you leave the Garching Forschungszentrum station, walk straight ahead along the avenue of poplar trees. Our building will then be the last one on the right, and Kim will be to the right after you go in the door on that corner. You can check the price of your train ticket <a href="http://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/homepage/index.html">here</a>

Veto techniques are opening up new doors for point source searches in IceCube. Traditional IceCube point source analyses are only sensitive to PeV-scale fluxes in the southern hemisphere. We demonstrate that extending the “high-energy starting event” veto to lower energies allows IceCube to probe southern sky sources in the 10 TeV – 1 PeV regime. After discussing the event selection and analysis method, we will show projected sensitivities and compare them to ANTARES point source analyses.
