  10. Reconstruction in fat-reader • fat-reader contains a plug-in reconstruction module, which: • uses convoluted pandel description • uses multi-media propagation coefficients • relies on the Kurt’s 6-parameter ice model • has Klaus’s stability of the solution • parameterization is possible for bulk ice • reconstructs both tracks and showers/flashers • calculates an energy estimate • also reconstructs IceTop showers

  16. Flasher intensity variations (in progress)

  17. Flasher energy estimate Quantum efficiency = 0.24 PMT area = 492.10 cm2 Energy = 5.08 TeV Cascade: 1.37 105 photons/GeV

  18. Conclusions • In-ice track and cascade position and energy reconstruction algorithms have been implemented in a module of the fat-reader. • Flasher position reconstruction works very well • Despite a very early state of the energy reconstruction, results are encouraging. Outlook • only rough optimization of the llh parameters was performed, need to refine. Kurt’s ice model has been extended to all IceCube depths, will need to rerun reconstruction with new tables • detailed measurement of scattering coefficients with the string • IceTray implementation and further improvements, e.g., multiple coincident event reconstruction (by Jon Aytac)
