IceTop Status in 2004

Status, performance, and first results of the IceTop array

We describe the design and performance of IceTop, the air shower array on top of the IceCube neutrino detector. After the 2008/09 antarctic summer season both detectors are deployed at almost 3/4 of their design size. With the current IceTop 59 stations we can start the study of showers of energy well above 10 eV. The paper also describes the first results from IceTop and our plans to study the...

IceTop is the surface air shower array above the IceCube [1] neutrino detector. Its primary purpose is to complement the detection of high energy astrophysical neutrinos and support IceCube by identifying background events. To do that IceTop will [2]: 1) Tag a fraction of the small showers on the surface that are associated with the main atmospheric muon background in IceCube. Among the identif...

Developing Educational Status Assessment Tools for Nursing Schools in Iran and their Ranking in 2004

Introduction: Recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of schools through comparison of their educational services status, is one of the effective ways in determining their present situations. In other words, educational ranking of institutions and introducing the best models, is the requisite for short-term and long-term plannings regarding qualitative and quantitative improvement of schools. ...
