Effects of Ice Properties on the Angular Reconstruction of Track-Like Events in IceCube — •Gerrit Wrede for the IceCube collaboration — Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, ECAP

The IceCube neutrino observatory is searching for point sources in the astrophysical neutrino flux. Relativistic muons created by muon-neutrinos offer a good angular resolution and are thus an ideal channel for the detection of points sources. The accurate reconstruction of the direction of the muons depends on a good understanding of the Antarctic ice. In this talk, a study on the systematic uncertainty of the angular resolution due to inaccurate ice-modelling is presented for different reconstruction scenarios.
