Searches for Extended and Point-like Neutrino Sources with Four Years of IceCube Data (2014, methodology): “This algorithm includes a probabilistic distribution function (PDF), which describes the scattering of photons in the ice, and is fully described in Ahrens et al. (2004).”
Extending the Search for Muon Neutrinos Coincident with Gamma-Ray Bursts in IceCube Data (2017, background): “Likelihood-based reconstructions fit a track hypothesis to the timing and position of PMT photoelectron pulses of a given event, accounting for photon scattering and absorption in the ice, to obtain the muon’s direction(Ahrens et al. 2004; Aartsen et al. 2014d).”
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory: Instrumentation and Online Systems (2016, background): “[39], but charge and time information from the DOM under study are excluded from the reconstruction.”
Measurement of South Pole ice transparency with the IceCube LED calibration system (2013, background): “d information to perform reconstructions of reasonable accuracy were selected. The selection criteria were based on the zenith angle (θ < 90◦) and the likelihood minimum of the standard angular ﬁt [17] d ivided by the degrees of freedom (reduced log-likelihood,rlogl < 8). The resulting median ”
MEASUREMENT OF THE ANISOTROPY OF COSMIC-RAY ARRIVAL DIRECTIONS WITH ICECUBE (2010, background): “The arrival direction is determined by a likelihood based reconstruction which is seeded with a fast online estimate of the arrival direction (Ahrens et al. 2004).”
Letter of Intent: The Precision IceCube Next Generation Upgrade (PINGU) (2014, methodology): “Instead of removing those events from the sample, the neutrino zenith angle of those events is reconstructed with a maximum-likelihood approach based on the multi-photoelectron (MPE) likelihood [49].”
OBSERVATION OF ANISOTROPY IN THE GALACTIC COSMIC-RAY ARRIVAL DIRECTIONS AT 400 TeV WITH ICECUBE (2011, methodology): “All recorded events were processed using a coarse online fit to their trajectories (Ahrens et al. 2004).”
