Improvements in the Simulation of High Energy Charged Leptons for IceCube — •Jan Soedingrekso, Mario Dunsch, Alexander Sandrock, Thorben Menne, Mathis Börner, and Max Meier for the IceCube collaboration — TU Dortmund, Dortmund, Deutschland

IceCube is a cubic kilometer scaled neutrino telescope detecting the Cherenkov light of charged particles propagating through the detector. To improve the reconstruction of the measured events, the systematic uncertainties have to be reduced in the simulation chain. PROPOSAL is a part of the IceCube simulation chain propagating charged leptons. This talk deals with recent improvements in PROPOSAL which can be separated into two topics: On the one hand physical aspects were enhanced to increase the precision of the propagation and reduce the systematic uncertainties. On the other hand programming aspects were improved to increase the performance and simplify usage and maintenance.
