Analysis framework for multi-messenger astronomy with IceCube

Abstract:

IceCube is a cubic-kilometer scale Cherenkov neutrino detector operating at the South Pole [1]. It consists of over 5000 DOMs (digital optical modules), each containing a 10-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMT). Completed in 2010, IceCube has been continuously observing astrophysical neutrinos for more than ten years, opening a new window into the universe. However, combining the IceCube neutrino data with other observational data from multiple instruments for multi-messenger has always been non-trivial, due to the differences in the likelihood calculation. Here, we introduce a new python-based unbinned likelihood analysis package called IceCube Maximum Likelihood Analysis (i3mla). i3mla aims to solve this problem by providing a framework to make the IceCube public data compatible with the Multi-Mission Maximum Likelihood (3ML) architecture [2].
