My work: Analyze the signal attenuation due to snow accumulating on the IT tanks for different air-shower particles.
Snow heights on top of IT tanks measured in Feb. 2012.
Snow accumulation over the IceTop detector, measured in three different years: 2010, 2011, and
2012.
"One size fits all"
Reality is a lot more complex, can we do it better? We can try.
Please don't take these results too seriously!
Snow height: ~0.379m
Number of photoelectrons detected by DOMs in tank 36A
Next step!
Next step!
*Events in which only one DOM measured a PE where treated as zero events
