Candidacy paper. Summer 2017.
Entry  Wed Jul 19 16:46:15 2017, Jorge Torres, Write-ups, General, Misconceptions , Other Misconceptions.pdfMisconceptions.tex
Some of the misconceptions we could find in our field. Useful for neophytes in our group.

When things that produce calibration signals are pulsers with an e.  Pulsars are astronomical objects.

For us the plural of antenna is antennas.  Antennae is used for insects and aliens!

Entry  Tue May 16 10:22:41 2017, Brian Dailey, Thesis/Candidacy, Theory, Brian D. Candidacy, Neutrino Flavor, ANITA Brian_candidacy.pdf
Brian Dailey's Candidacy from March 2012. It deals with Neutrino flavors, mostly with oscillations/mixing, interactions, and detection.
Entry  Thu May 4 10:53:57 2017, Eugene Hong, Thesis/Candidacy, General, Eugene Hong's Ph.D. Dissertation, ARA Thesis_-_Eugene_Hong.pdf
Here is Eugene Hong's Ph.D. dissertation from 2014.

It concentrates on the ARA Testbed including a diffuse search using 2 years of Testbed data.

Just in case anyone wants to read my thesis.  :)  I pointed Brian D. to it today to read about how to set limits.  The limits included
systematic uncertainties too, which is standard in particle physics but we don't do that yet (but we should).

Entry  Fri Apr 7 13:08:18 2017, J. C. Hanson, Write-ups, Service, Latest SSI proposal,  notes.pdf
Hello!  These are notes and information regarding the SSI proposal, which is due in early September.  To access the proposal, see my github
@ 918particle.  I've attached my work as a pdf, but keep in mind we have a long way to go on this document.

Entry  Thu Mar 23 20:12:20 2017, J. C. Hanson, Write-ups, Analysis, Latest near-surface ice report,  NearSurface_IceReport.pdf
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.
Entry  Wed Mar 22 18:13:08 2017, Hannah Hasan, Write-ups, Simulation, "Installing Software Pre-Requisites for Simulation and Analysis",  installation.pdf
By Brian, Carl, Jude, and Hannah

Attached is an updated copy of the guide for installing ROOT, Boost, FFTW, Sqlite, CMake, and GSL.

Feel free to edit this post as the need arises.
Entry  Sat Mar 18 17:05:09 2017, Amy Connolly, Write-ups, Analysis, Effect of Phase Center Offsets in LCP/RCP Correlation Maps, ANITA LR.pdfLR.tex
This is a writeup I worked on last Fall, arguing that even if we have phase center offsets between H and V, our L and R maps should still show a good
reconstruction.
Entry  Fri Mar 17 00:25:49 2017, Amy Connolly, Write-ups, Theory, Dependence of density of packed snow with depth, ARA mycalc.pdfa028622.pdf
I had a glaciology day and did my own derivation of rho(z) using the compressibility of packed snow.  The conclusions are a bit different from what
Jordan found, although similar and greater depths, so I'll be interested to hear what he thinks, or anyone else!

Attached are my writeup, and an interesting paper reporting measurements of compressibility of packed ice.
