Activity regarding Science Tools
Science
Tools are designed to provide the GLAST User Community with
powerful
analysis means.
Data Challenges are special periods during which the collaboration
members
exercise the tools on a
set of simulated data, whose actual contents is not revealed until the
end.
The first Data Challenge,
DC1
, took place Dec. 2003- Feb. 2004. We contributed to this exercise, see
the
corresponding presentation
here
. The second Data Challenge is foreseen in Summer 2005.
Between Data Challenges, we also contribute to the periodic evaluation
of the Science Tools. A short note
describing the results for AGN monitoring using the Likelihood package
can be found here.
