Seasonal Variations of the Unfolded Atmospheric Muon Neutrino Energy Spectrum¶

Measurement of seasonal variations in the atmospheric neutrino flux with IceCube data.

Initially the analysis was constructed using data from 2011-2020, but an update using data from 2011-2022 is requested as it becomes available.

Collaboration Reviewer: richard.naab@desy.de

Code is available here: /home/khymon/scripts/master/SeasonalVariationUnfolding/ Documentation is given in README.md

The analysis was first developed on pass1 simulation. The corresponding plots can be found here
