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.

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.

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.

Title: Searching for Ultra-high Energy Neutrinos with Data from a Prototype Station of the Askaryan Radio Array

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.

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.

Dissertation of Dawn Williams.  She completed her PhD with David Saltzberg when I was starting my postdoc at UCLA.  She worked on GLUE and SalSA.
