See the attached papers.  I wonder if we could look for these with ANITA and distinguish between natural and artificial origin.

Here are some estimates that I did last night.

The paper quotes that for an FRB at a distance ~10-20 kpc, we would see at S_nu=10^10-10^11 Jy where 1 Jy=10^-26 W/m^2/Hz.

I am trying to write a script that will plot a 2d histogram of effective volume versus two of ShelfMC's parameters.

The script prompts the user for which two parameters (out of five that we vary in our parameter space scan) to plot along the x- and
y-axes, as well as what values to hold the other 3 parameters constant at. It then collects the necessary root files from simulation results, generates

Attached are instructions and scripts for carrying out a parameter space scan with ShelfMC, the simulation package for the ARIANNA detector.

Because some of the plotted outputs looked like colored stripes and did not offer any insight into how effective volume changed with some variables,
I made some changes to the simulation and plotting scripts so that different maximum, minimum, and increment values can be chosen for each variable. Now

Hi All,

We need to revive the icemcQC and AraSimQC pages, and I thought that in the meantime we could keep a list and/or associated code for plots we'd
like to see go in there.

This is a "bank" of mac addresses that we obtained for the lab. They were taken by Ian Best (one of Jim' students) in summer 2017. We purchased
25 AT24MAC402 EEPROMS (https://www.arrow.com/en/products/at24mac402-stum-t/microchip-technology) and used a SOT-23 breakout board and a bus pirate to retrieve
their internal mac addresses.

Hello!  See the attached report relating the compressibility of firn, the density profile, and the resulting index of refraction profile. 
The gradient of the index of refraction profile determines the curvature of classically refracted rays.

I've been working on a calculation to generalize the form factor (Eq. 26 of attached paper) to include particles from wider lateral distances from
the cascade axis.  Formulae that were single terms now become sums, as I choose to model the contribution from wide-ranging particles as a sum of
exponentials rather than a single exponential distribution.  See attached version of the paper (you can clone it using git: kingbee.mps.ohio-state.edu:/home/hanson.369/AskaryanPaper).

In response to a request by Amy, I make an estimae of the number of deep "station-years" of data obtained by ARA
so far. This means roughly (# deep stations) * (# months livetime). This is very approximate, and only counts days where ARA has data in the storage vault
on cobalt. It doesn't verify that cal pulsers are running, or that we actually have data for very hour of every day, etc.

This document summarizes my project with karoo machine learning where I used it to model the inelasticity distribution from the Connolly

tree depth=5, number of generations = 20 and coeffecients ranging from 0.1 to 0.5. I had issues getting each of the functions to fit the
