Details on 2005 Data Filtering
Summary of 2005 Filtering
The 2005 data filtering is similar to the 2000-2003 Zeuthen filtering, with two major exceptions:- Modified XTC is applied at L0
- JAMS and DW L1 and L2 cuts are swapped
The upward-muon filtering cuts
| L1 | Zenith(JAMS) > 70 |
| L2 | Zenith(DW) > 80 |
| L3 | Zenith(32-fold Pandel) > 80 |
Events from other streams (e.g. WIMP) which reconstruct with Zenith(32-fold Pandel) > 80 are added to the L3 upward-muon sample. For more details, see the Sieglinde steering file.
The 2005 L3 Upward-Muon Sample
Location
- Slart: /data/exp/AMANDA/2005/reco3/L3_st
- F2K: /data/exp/AMANDA/2005/reco3/L3_f2k
2005 Fit Numbering (F2K)
| FIT 0 | CFirst | FIT 1 | JAMS | FIT 2 | DW | FIT 3 | WIMP | FIT 4 | Cascade SPE | FIT 5 | Cascade MPE | FIT 6 | Muon Pandel single-fold SPE | FIT 7 | Muon Pandel 32-fold SPE | FIT 8 | Paraboloid | FIT 9 | Muon Pandel 16-fold MPE | FIT 10 | Bayesian 16 | FIT 11 | Bayesian 64 |
2005 Passing Rate
| Livetime (after file selection) | 199.29 days |
| Total L3 Events (after file selection) | 5.21M |
The excess of L3 events, compared to 2004, is mostly from WIMP stream events which reconstruct with Zenith(32-fold Pandel) > 80. Explicitly excluding these events results in a passing rate comparable to 2004.
