• FADC nominal delay time: 7*25-2.4-75.4-5*3.3=113.7 ns
• extra 2 clock cycles for TestDAQ• 1 cycle+15 ns correction to domcal<7.2 values• 15 ns correction to domcal<7.5 values• sign of ATWD1 delta correct, but definition wrong?

Some new features• new implementation of unfolding, based on NNLS (my translation to C of Fortran code by Lawson and Hanson); old Bayesian unfolding still there
• adaptive baseline calculation, uses simplified topological trigger logic: Merge all sets of waveform values that have all of the 7 consecutive samples are within 4.5*[bin size] of each other fit a line, use to extrapolate baseline (in the vicinity of the fit) the waveforms are split into non-overlapping non-zero segments that are fed into the unfolding routine. This is very efficient, thus no need to resort to special treatment of simple waveforms.
• SLC pulses are unfolded just like any other FADC waveform
• for part of FADC overlapping with ATWD the saturated values are recovered by re-convolving the pulses extracted from ATWD. This improves the droop correction of the FADC waveform.
• droop is carried-over from the previous DOM launch across both launches and events checks that there was not too much droop

News with PPC
• new version: in OpenCL now written in/for 4 languages/platforms:
c++, Assembly, c for CUDA, c with OpenCL All of these agree with each other, and with i3mcml Now confirmed that clsim agrees with ppc as well
• better flasher angular distributionAngular emission profile is specified with 2 rms widths:
vertical=9.7 horizontal=9.8 (tilted LEDs)vertical=9.2 horizontal=10.1 (horizontal LEDs)
• Old: simulated a rectangle in theta, phi with rms given above• New: simulate a 2d Gaussian (von Mises-Fisher distribution)
with the average rms width of 9.7 degrees.Both are approximations, the 2d Gaussian is probably better.
• direct hole ice simulation• anisotropic ice simulation

Direct Hole Ice simulation
Hole radius = ½ nominal DOMradius
Hole effective scattering ~ 50 cmHole absorption ~ 100 m
Do we need more detailed DOM simulation, including info about both the direction and point on the DOM surface?
Perhaps not, if the scattering length in the hole is not much shorter than the hole radius (speculation).

remarks
Effect of the hole ice is quite subtle:• The number of photons is reduced on the side facing the emitter, and enhanced in the direction away from the emitter.
• The traditional “hole ice” implementation via the angular sensitivity modification reduces the number of photons in the direction into the PMT, and enhances the number of photons arriving into the back of the PMT.
If the emitter is inside the hole ice, the enhancement of photons received on the same string is dramatic.
Either effect is much smaller when receiver is on the different string can decouple measurement of bulk ice properties from the hole ice

Naïve approximation: multiply the scattering coefficient by a function of photon direction, e.g., by
1 + ( cos2- 1/3 )
However, this is unphysical:
(nin,nout) = (-nout,-nin) (time-reversal symmetry)
(nin,nout) = (-nin,-nout) (symmetry of ice)
(nin,nout) = (nout,nin)
![Page 39: South Pole Ice (SPICE) model Dmitry Chirkin, UW Madison](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8b1a28abf838c8b083/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
A possible parameterizationThe scattering function we use is f(cos ), a combination of HG and SL.
How about this extension: f(cos )= f(nin . nout) f(Anin . Anout)
0 0A = 0 0 in the basis of the 2 scattering axes and z ( are, e.g., 1.05). 0 0 1/
However, function f(cos ) is well-defined for only cos between -1 and 1.
A possible modification is nin Anin/| Anin | nout A-1nout/| A-1nout |.
This introduces two extra parameters: (in addition to the direction of scattering preference).
The geometric scattering coefficient is constant with azimuth. However, the effective scattering coefficient receives azimuthal dependence as:

Likelihood description of data
Two 2 functions were used:
1. q2: sum over total charges only (no time information) ~ 38700 terms
2. t2: sum over total charges split in 25-ns bins ~ 2.7.106 terms
Both zero and non-zero contributions contribute to the sum however, the terms in the above sum are 0 when both d=0 and s=0.

Exact description: new
There is an obvious constraint
which can be derived, e.g., from the normalization condition
Suppose we repeat the measurement in data nd times and in simulation ns times. The s and d are the expectation mean values of counts per measurement in simulation and in data.
With the total count in the combined set of simulation and data is s + d , the conditional probability distribution function of observing s simulation and d data counts is
![Page 47: South Pole Ice (SPICE) model Dmitry Chirkin, UW Madison](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8b1a28abf838c8b083/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Two hypotheses:If data data and simulation are unrelated and completely independent from each other, then we can maximize the likelihood for s and d independently, which with the above constraint yields
On the other hand, we can assume that data and simulation come from the same process, i.e.,
We can compare the two hypotheses by forming a likelihood ratio
![Page 48: South Pole Ice (SPICE) model Dmitry Chirkin, UW Madison](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5697bf8b1a28abf838c8b083/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Optimal binning is determined by desire to:capture the changes in the ratemaximize the combined statistical power of the bins
The conditional probability (given the total count D) is
if the bins are considered independently i=di.
if the rate is constant across all bins, =i=D/L.
The likelihood ratio is
This never exceeds 1! so we use 1/L! or 8.

Conclusions and remarks
• Improved data processing with the new feature extraction
• Improved likelihood description and optimized binning
• Despite these substantial changes the new model is compatible with SPICE Mie!
• Evidence for ice anisotropy in the xy plane is presented. The quality of the fit improves substantially when anisotropy is considered in the fit:
The rms of data/simulation drops from 30% to 20%!

Other interpretations
What else could cause the observed effect?
• difference in refractive coefficient in aligned ice crystals?n1=1.309, n2=1.313 the difference is too smalldoes not directly affect the amount of arriving charge anyway
• geometry stretching? Need more than 10 m per 1km: unlikely

What’s next
• Verify/refit SPICE using the new all-purpose flasher runs
• fit the hole ice:• average• detailed description
• eventually: fit the color LED data
