Waveform comparisons for an EHE muon track


Introduction

I compared MC waveforms with PDFs for an EHE muon track. The MC waveforms are calibratedFADC generated with the JULIeT (with bulk ice tables). I tried three PDFs, namely K-function, lightsaber tables (bulk) and lightsaber tables (layered).

Here, I only used a fixed energy and fixed geometry of an EHE muon track. The geometry is horizontally (zenith angle = 90 deg.), an EHE muon passing through the center of our detector. I compare the waveforms for each OM distance along a string (string 45, nearly center).

The effect of the PMT spe distribution is taken into account for the PDFs.
