AMANDA-II muon-DAQ data from 2000-2006
2000-2003 and 2004: Data were processed in Zeuthen and analyzed by M. Ackermann et al.
2005 and 2006: Data were processed in Madison and analyzed by J. Braun et al.
| Year | Livetime | L3 UpMu Events |
| 2000 | 197 d | 1.63 M |
| 2001 | 193 d | 1.90 M |
| 2002 | 204 d | 2.10 M |
| 2003 | 213 d | 2.22 M |
| 2004 | 194 d | 2.09 M |
| 2005 | 199.26 d | 5.21 M |
| 2006 | 186.95 d | 4.89 M |
| Total | 1387.21 d | 20.04 M |
The number of L3 events for 2005-2006 differs from 2000-2004 due to inclusion of WIMP-triggered events in the L3 stream during filtering.
Event rates at L3 indicate the periods which are selected for analysis. Event times for all events at L3 (without applying Gpsday cuts for 2000-2004) are available in a text and root file.
