Description

I3geant Simulation for Supernova Neutrinos
The same MC also simulates atmospheric muon events. Please click on the following link. Atmospheric Muons
Full Geant-3.21/GCALOR Simulation of the IceCube Detector. The AHA ice model was used.

Current Results for the Final IceCube Geometry (78 + 8).

A SN temprature of T = 6.5 MeV is assumed. A total of 1,000,000 e+'s were simulated. These results use the latest DOM acceptance datafiles from Chiba. A 15% threshold for PE detection has been applied.

The SN neutrino energy distribution according to a Fermi function with T = 6.5 MeV (top),
and the positron energy distribution from the inverse beta decay reaction (bottom).
The flux-integrated cross section for the inverse beta decay reaction is 0.37 x 10^-40 cm^2
The fiducial volume peppered by 740,000 positrons.
Two-DOM fraction coincidence plots (left). Ratio of 2+ DOM hits to all hits is about 2%. Number of hits per DOM (right). Note, these plots are for the whole detector (5160 DOMs).
Two-DOM fraction coincidence plots (left). Ratio of 2+ DOM hits to all hits is about 5.6%. Number of hits per DOM (right). Note, these plots are for the DeepCore only.

DOM sensitivity range for IC-86 to C-light from the SN positrons (left) and DOM sensitivity range for DC to C-light from the SN positrons (right).

Results for the Final IceCube Geometry (78 + 8).

A SN temprature of T = 6.5 MeV is assumed. A total o:0 f 10,000,000 e+'s were simulated. These results use the old DOM acceptance datafiles

Hit distributions for single DOM hits
