## Preliminary!

**Preliminary!**

- AMANDA-II
-       (2000-2003: Sensitivity)
-       (2000-2003: 139 bursts)

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

## GRB paper ...

**Agree on outline for papers:**
- 	  cascade GRBs (Ignacio)
- 		*- combine with Brennan‘s 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 GRB‘s with photon jet not breaking out of stellar environment?

## Priorities

-  simulation still need help (TWR!)
-  finalize Photonics - make test plan
-  „ultimate reconstruction methods“
-  use Sieglinde ...and IceTray (for A II+new strings)
-  **Improve on systematics**
-  **multi-year analyses !**
-  **diffuse (muon, cascade), **WIMPS

## Ultimate „squeezing“ of AMANDA

-  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*

**define strategy  for:****	****	****	****	****sensitivity increase:**

## ...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?
