Leading HE Muon Measurements using Machine Learning Techniques — •Johannes Werthebach for the IceCube collaboration — TU Dortmund

The prompt component of the cosmic ray flux can be determined by analysing the energy spectrum of single atmospheric muons. A sufficiently pure sample of these muons can be obtained with the IceCube detector. Extracting such a sample is challenging, due to IceCubes geometric restrictions. Using machine learning techniques is one possible solution. This talk presents a machine learning based approach.
