Subject: Instructions for Running IceMC 

Running IceMC:

 

Go into the directory ../anitaBuildTool/build/components/icemc/

And run the command

  • ./icemc -i {inputFile} -o {outputDirectory} -r {runNumber} -n {numberOfNeutrinos} -t {triggerThreshold} -e {energyExponent}

*May need to chmod -R 775 ../anitaBuildTool/comonents/icemc/ if you get a permissions error

 

inputFile:

Must be the full path to the file

Config files are found in ../anitaBuildTool/components/icemc

Ex: /users/PAS1960/dylanwells1629/anitaBuildTool/components/icemc/inputs.anita4.conf

Config files are found in ../anitaBuildTool/components/icemc

 

outputDirectory:

Will be made in ../anitaBuildTool/build/components/icemc/ by default, specify full path otherwise.

 

runNumber: 

The run number.

 

numberOfNeutrinos:

The number of neutrinos generated in the simulation. 

Can be found in inputs.conf

Default is 2,000,000.

#How many neutrinos to generate


 

triggerThreshold:

Threshold for each band for the trigger. 

Default is 2.3

#thresholds for each band- this is only for the frequency domain voltage trigger.  If using a different trigger scheme then keep these at the default values of 2.3 because the max among them is used for the chance in hell cuts

 

energyExponent:

The exponent of the energy for the neutrinos

Can be found in input.conf 

Default is 1020

# Select energy (just enter the exponent) or (30) for baseline ES&S (1) for E^-1 (2) for E^-2 (3) for E^-3 (4) for E^-4 (5) for ES&S flux with cosmological constant (6) for neutrino GZK flux from Iron nuclei (16-22)not using spectrum but just for a single energy (101-114)use all kinds of theoretical flux models
