11. Evolution of working groups As IceCube grows, more physics analyses become possible As IceCube grows, more physics analyses become possible Varying rates that this happens e.g. Varying rates that this happens e.g. Point source, diffuse sensitivity grows steadily with increasing sizePoint source, diffuse sensitivity grows steadily with increasing size Low energy analyses in AMANDA strings may benefit greatly from having surrounding strings as a vetoLow energy analyses in AMANDA strings may benefit greatly from having surrounding strings as a veto Waveforms will be quickly powerfulWaveforms will be quickly powerful → Physics sensitivities will drive requirements (of course subject to personnel interest and availability) Presented at Berkeley, March 2005

12. Long term… [working groups] Analysis topics from matrix suggests many groups are possible Analysis topics from matrix suggests many groups are possible Different ways of arranging these Different ways of arranging these e.g. analysis based e.g. analysis based point source group that does muon, electron and tau neutrinospoint source group that does muon, electron and tau neutrinos GRB group that does muon, electron and tau neutrinosGRB group that does muon, electron and tau neutrinos etcetc or detection-channel based or detection-channel based muon group that does point sources, GRBsmuon group that does point sources, GRBs electron group that does point sources, GRBselectron group that does point sources, GRBs etcetc More analyses than detection channels… More analyses than detection channels… Or some mixture of the two ways… Or some mixture of the two ways… Presented at Berkeley, March 2005
