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.
