Introduction

The structure of the page is as follows:

Introduction + Monte Carlo + Processing time (this page)
Results at trigger level
Results using the so-called cutset 1, with |Sdir| < 0.6, Ldir > 150 m and Ndir >= 8
Results using the Level 1 cuts (called here cutset 2) from the paper on the IceCube sensitivity (link)
Results using the Level 2 cuts (called here cutset 3) from the paper on the IceCube sensitivity (link)
Analysis of the trigger rates for different depending on the zenith angle cut.
Preliminary conclusions

We show here a comparison among different first-guess reconstruction strategies:

Linefit
Dipolefit
Cluster JAMS*
Direct Walk

*Remark: cluster_jams produces a discrete zenith angle distribution, which explains the particular shape of some of the distributions corresponding to this strategy).

We also include results from the muon-llh-reco module fed by each of these first guesses.
The muon-llh-reco result fed by linefit is implicitly assumend when only one strategy is shown.

The comparison is done with different kinds of events:

Corsika events
Atmospheric neutrinos (Bartol+Naumov)
Cosmic neutrinos (E-2)

The magnitudes to be compared are:

Effective area
Angular resolution
Efficiency
Fake rate
Processing time

We have simulated the 9-line, 21-line and 80-line configurations.

NOTE: There is A LOT of information here, so you can go to the preliminary conclusions for a summary of this (on-going) work.
You can also access the summary tables (trigger, 1, 2, 3 levels) for a quick look at the global results in each case.
