DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sally Robertson (o=adelaide\,ou=Institutions\,dc=ice
 cube\,dc=wisc\,dc=edu)\, Gary Hill (o=adelaide\,ou=Institutions\,dc=icecub
 e\,dc=wisc\,dc=edu)\n\nThe IceCube neutrino observatory relies on the abil
 ity to reconstruct the energies of muon events for a wide range of analyse
 s\, including all astrophysical diffuse analyses. Current methods use the 
 mean energy loss rate of the events with good results found after effectiv
 ely truncating the largest losses. Here we discuss  a new energy reconstru
 ction method which uses topological information of the muon track. The met
 hod uses a maximum likelihood that interprets the full pattern of reconstr
 ucted energy losses from each muon track to obtain a best estimate of the 
 muon energy as the event entered the detector. In this talk the topologica
 l method will be compared to previous reconstruction methods via simulated
  muon event studies\, and we also will discuss possible improvements.\n\nh
