This annual meeting has been established in order to best connect the neutrino telescope community and brings together all neutrino collaborations, which constitute the GNN. It fosters the exchange between the collaborations to best exploit synergies from hardware developments to high-level analyses to future visions.
A note for new people: this meeting allows for sharing things privately under MOU that could be of interest to other neutrino collaborations in the network. This includes in-progress work, and you usually do not need your collaboration's speakers committee permission, nor to approve plots or slides in advance as you would for normal conferences. (If in doubt, check with your collaboration, of course.)
The GNN meeting will this year be held in Amsterdam at Nikhef.
Nikhef is well connected by public transport, it takes ~15 minutes from Amsterdam Centrum to get there, you can find descriptions of the connections here.
If you need an invitation letter for a visum please contact Joan Berger (jberger at nikhef.nl).
Note about the payment: An early version of the payment link did not lead to the 'confirmed payment' page due to a typo and thus the registration is incorrectly listed as 'awaiting payment'. If the money was subtracted from your bank account we also received it despite the statement. The problem should be fixed by now.
Questions / Topics to be discussed: We will be able to discuss a wide variety of topics that are relevant to the collaborations and for the GNN community. Below are some of the topics/questions open for discussion. We can cover them in presentations and during discussion time during the meeting, including an "Unconference" session with break-out discussions and ad-hoc plenary presentations from these discussions. Feel free to submit/add your own questions you would like to discuss - we will add them here. Contact Claudio Kopper via chat (if you have this) or via email at claudio.kopper@fau.de !
Selection of questions:
- How do we find Galactic neutrino sources?
- Can we detect kHz periodic signals of MeV neutrinos?
- What is the status of the common NMO working group?
- How do we deal with realtime analysis and/or time-dependent sources and how do we collaborate on them?
- Do we have any updates on the common data formats?
- How far did we get with common data formats for realtime alerts?
- How do we deal with atmospheric fluxes? Is Daemonflux a good description? How do detector systematics fit into this? And do we need a joint WG on this?
- How do you deal with water properties / ice properties / medium properties, how do they affect your reconstructions / systematics)
- How can AI methods help us and how are they already being used?
- How do you start a joint working group (and how do you keep it alive??)
- What can we achieve if we combine detectors? (PLeNuM, …)
- How should we approach combined EHE (extremely high energy) fits across multiple detectors?
- How can we efficiently simulate the extreme tail of the muon flux, including uncertainties from hadronic interaction models?
- How can we improve simulations of hadronic showers and charm production in DIS?
- How can we collaborate more effectively in searching for the atmospheric prompt flux?
- How can we better model the atmospheric self-veto effect, particularly important for down-going neutrino backgrounds?
- What's the status of KM3-230213A? Any news on it to report?
- Any updates on the common data formats?
