Reconstruction Improvement.
A Study to explore a potential improvement in energy
and directional reconstruction of cascades in IceCube
DeepCore.
Outline.

> Analysis:
IceCube DeepCore
Neutrino oscillations
> Conclusions
> Method:
Event reconstructions

Calculating
resolutions
SANTA Reconstruction.
> Assumes non-scattered
Cherenkov light, directly
propagating from the
source
> Selective; only
reconstructs clean events
> Does not include
scattering of photons in
ice
> Separately fits energy and
direction

Monopod Reconstruction.
> Primarily energy
reconstruction, intended
for high energy events
> Includes energy losses
due to scattering in ice
> Developed for tracks
(multiple sources), can be
applied to cascades (one
source)
MultiNest Reconstruction.
> Bayesian inference, full
8D fit.
> Time, length, energy, x, y,
z, zenith, azimuth
> Low-energy hybrid
reconstructions
> Computationally intensive
only part of data was
reconstructed.

Conclusion.
SANTA/Monopod
MultiNest
> Pros:
> Pros:
Less affected by
systematic uncertainties
Fast
Uses complete
information
> Cons:
Limited efficiency, due
to direct hits selection
Potentially less accurate,
doesnt use complete
information
Poor cascade
reconstruction
High efficiency
Sensitive to all events
> Cons:
Computationally
intensive
Complicated to
estimate systematic
