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.

  1. 30. Status of simulations for ORCA
    Salvatore Galata (APC)
    14/10/2013, 11:30
    Galata - Simulation for ORCA
    Simulation activities for the feasibility study of ORCA for measuring the neutrino mass hierarchy are described. The two mainstream simulation chains, one with a 'reference' detector and one with a dense detector are presented.

  2. 22. The km3 simulation package
    Dr Clancy James (University of Erlangen-Nuernberg)
    14/10/2013, 11:45
    James - KM3 simulation
    The km3 simulation package is the standard software suite used by the ANTARES collaboration to simulate the emission and detection of Cherenkov photons. Here, the three programs comprising km3 are described, and the performance of km3's latest revision evaluated. Particular focus is paid to the use of the one-particle approximation, by which Cherenkov emission from hadronic cascades is...

  3. 8. Understanding Atmospheric Background in Neutrino Telescopes
    Dr Paolo Desiati (University of Wisconsin - Madison)
    14/10/2013, 12:05
    Desiati - Nu Gen with CORSIKA
    In this presentation I'll review the importance to improve atmospheric neutrino production to probe the sources of systematics in the background estimation for neutrino telescopes. The generation of prompt components by heavy quark mesons is also discussed.

  5. 27. Atmospheric muons rejection for ORCA
    Mr Luigi Antonio Fusco (INFN and University of Bologna)
    14/10/2013, 12:40
    Fusco - Mu background ORCA
    A strong background for the observation of atmospheric neutrino induced upgoing muons is due to the presence of wrongly reconstructed muons. A strategy for the rejection of this background is presented, relying on the output of the reconstruction code "reco".
