Preliminary!

• Kyler compare to just one model... WB
  yardstick
• compare with Super-K using their
  Greens-fct.approach
• Michael use info from individual bursts (
  model)

12
GRB paper ...
Agree on outline for papers ? cascade GRBs
(Ignacio) - combine with Brennans analysis?
? ??-induced GRBs (Kyler, Michael) -
incorporate what? - combine how? - 2 separate
papers?

• New ideas (e.g. astro-ph70502521)
• TeV-neutrinos from mildly relativistic SN-jets?
  (3-25)
• Abundant GRBs with photon jet not breaking out
  of stellar environment?

Priorities

• ? Simulation/Photonics/Reconstruction
• simulation still need help (TWR!)
• finalize Photonics - make test plan
• ultimate reconstruction methods
• use Sieglinde ...and IceTray (for A IInew
  strings)
• ? Improve on systematics
• ? multi-year analyses !
• diffuse (muon, cascade), WIMPS

32
Ultimate squeezing of AMANDA
define strategy for sensitivity increase

• point source 1997-2006 ? factor ?2 - 2
• define blind analysis criteria for flare analyses
• combined ??-cascades 00-06 diffuse limit ? up
  to 10 (?)
• EHE analysis (incl. TWR) ? up to
  6? (TWR?)
• ... GRB search with Swift

When switch to 30 string detector?
..keep standard muon DAQ running in 2006
33
...other things to remember..
ICRC papers to be submitted by the end of this
month (please submit on your own, once agreed
upon ....)
... by the way.. what is status of
reconstruction of ? TWR 2003/2004 ? muon-DAQ
2004/2005 (online) - muon t0s - cross talk
cleaning?
