This repository contains the full source code of my PhD thesis on the measurment of eV-scale sterile neutrinos with the IceCube DeepCore detector.
The PDF is generated by compiling main.tex
. It is recommended, though not strictly necessary, to use LuaLaTeX. Compiling this document requires several runs of biber
and pdflatex
/lualatex
to resolve all references and place all figures correctly. This is best done automatically using pdflatexmk
. Because this document uses tikz
externalization, -shell-escape
has to be enabled. The first two lines in main.tex
enable these settings for TeXShop, so compiling on a Mac with TeXShop should "just work" ;)
Many figures in this thesis are generated by LaTeX using the pgfplots
package. After compiling the document, the PDF output for all these figures can be found in the tikz/
directory. The data behind the figures, such as the coordinates for contour lines, can usually be found in a CSV document in the same directory as the .tex
source of the figure. In particular, the contour lines for the analysis results are in the figures/measurement/sterile_analysis/results/contour_data/
, where the 90% (99%) contours are listed in real_data_v12_wilks_contour_90(99)pct.csv
. The metric scan over the mixing amplitudes is listed in real_data_v12_matrix_elems.csv
, and can be used to generate contours at different levels of significance.
The layout of this thesis is using the kaobook class (https://github.com/fmarotta/kaobook).
