(2000-2003: 139 bursts)
•Kyler:
Preliminary!
compare to just one model... WB = yardstick
compare with Super-K using their Greens-fct.approach
11
•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/Photonics/Reconstruction
- 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
31
Ultimate „squeezing“ of AMANDA
define strategy for:
- point source 1997-2006
sensitivity increase:
 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
32
...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?
