Digital Optical Module Hit Rates
The hit rates of the IceCube DOMs can be extracted from pDAQ monitoring data. These are then stored in a database (I3OmDb) for use in simulation and for various likelihood reconstructions.
The relevant pDAQ log files are currently stored in the data warehouse here:
/data/exp/IceCube/YEAR/internal-system/SouthPole/DATE/SPS-pDAQ*.tar.gz
A Python script which extracts the hit rates from the log
directory (after untarring everything) is
here: ratescraper.py
You will also need the DOM nicknames file: nicknames.txt
Here are some pre-extracted median rate files from recent configurations:
