Simulation of Deflection Uncertainties on Directional Reconstructions of Muons Using PROPOSAL
Pascal Gutjahr, Jean-Marco Alameddine, Alexander Sandrock +3
Large scale neutrino detectors and muon tomography rely on the muon direction in the detector to infer the muon's or parent neutrino's origin. However, muons accumulate deflections…
The effect of improved high-energy muon cross-sections
Jan Soedingrekso, Alexander Sandrock, Wolfgang Rhode
A precise simulation of muons with energies above a TeV is crucial for neutrino telescopes or cosmic ray experiments. To further increase the precision of these simulations, improv…
Recent Improvements for the Lepton Propagator PROPOSAL
Mario Dunsch, Jan Soedingrekso, Alexander Sandrock +3
The lepton propagator PROPOSAL is a Monte-Carlo Simulation library written in C++, propagating high energy muons and other charged particles through large distances of media. In th…
Improvements in charged lepton and photon propagation for the software PROPOSAL
Jean-Marco Alameddine, Johannes Albrecht, Hans Dembinski +6
Accurate particle simulations are essential for the next generation of experiments in astroparticle physics. The Monte Carlo simulation library PROPOSAL is a flexible tool to effic…
Model-independent Measurement of the Atmospheric Muon Neutrino Energy Spectrum up to 2.5 PeV
Tobias Hoinka, Jan Soedingrekso, Mathis Börner
The IceCube Observatory at the South Pole allows the measurement of the diffuse neutrino flux. The assumption of specific flux parametrizations limits the range of spectral shapes.…
Search for Astrophysical Tau Neutrinos with an Improved Double Pulse Method
Maximilian Meier, Jan Soedingrekso
Tau neutrino identification with the IceCube experiment would open new windows to neutrino physics as well as enable novel searches for cosmic neutrino sources. This work aims at a…
The Relevance of Muon Deflections for Neutrino Telescopes
Pascal Gutjahr, Jean-Marco Alameddine, Alexander Sandrock +3
Large-scale neutrino telescopes have the primary objective to detect and characterize neutrino sources in the universe. These experiments rely on the detection of charged leptons p…
CORSIKA 8 -- Contributions to the 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference in Berlin Germany (ICRC 2021)
Jean-Marco Alameddine, Johannes Albrecht, Jaime Alvarez-Muniz +39
Compilation of the six contributions to the ICRC conference 2021 by the CORSIKA 8 Collaboration. The status of the project is illustrated. In particular, the secondary hadron as we…
