Preliminary!Super-Kamiokande (1996-2000: 1454 bursts)AMANDA-II (2000-2003: Sensitivity) (2000-2003: 139 bursts)

•Kyler: compare to just one model... WB = yardstick compare with Super-K using their Greens-fct.approach

•Michael: use info from individual bursts (+ model)

12

GRB paper ...

Agree on outline for papers:

cascade GRBs (Ignacio)- combine with Brennan‘s analysis?

-induced GRBs (Kyler, Michael)- incorporate what?- combine how?- 2 separate papers?

New ideas (e.g. astro-ph70502521)

•TeV-neutrinos from mildly relativistic SN-jets? (3-25%)•Abundant GRB‘s with photon jet not breaking out of stellar environment?

progress!!!

Cogz structures in photonics!

...but #event wrong (bug)

bulk ice fine!

.. Problem in layered ice with short tracks ... Reprogram ..

29

Reconstruction

- Mons (layered ice): Mathieu- Kansas (layered ice): George- Mons (UHE): Thierry- Stockholm (cascade ..) Thomas, Peter

- Wuppertal (general): Christopher (PDF-working group), Simon + several IceCube developments

Simulation/Photonics

Hope for improvements resolution (particularily at high E) misreconstruction of events at 10-6 level

Other central activities

Online data processing:- DESY Supernova system:

- Mainz (Tom,Marc, T.Kowarik)

31

Simulation/Photonics/Reconstruction- simulation still need help (TWR!)- finalize Photonics - make test plan - „ultimate reconstruction methods“- use Sieglinde ...and IceTray (for A II+new strings)

Improve on systematics

multi-year analyses !- diffuse (muon, cascade), WIMPS

Priorities

32

Ultimate „squeezing“ of AMANDA

- point source 1997-2006 factor 2 - 2

-define blind analysis criteria for flare analyses

- combined -cascades 00-06 diffuse limit up to 10 (?)

- EHE analysis (incl. TWR) up to 6? (TWR?)

... GRB search with Swift

When switch to 30+ string detector?

..keep standard muon DAQ running in 2006

define strategy for: sensitivity increase:

33

...other things to remember..

ICRC papers: to be submitted by the end of this month(please submit on your own, once agreed upon ....)

... by the way:.. what is status of reconstruction of:

TWR 2003/2004 muon-DAQ 2004/2005 (online)

- muon t0s- cross talk cleaning?
