STACEE Experiment Data Calibration Based on the STACEE Atmosptheric Monitor

Crucial to the STACEE experiment is the ability to distinguish Cherenkov pulses of light from the night sky background. This project will further the work of Joshua Boehm, begun in 2002, to select and calibrate quality STACEE data by examining the data collected by the Stacee Atmospheric Monitor (SAM). In particular, it will examine the utility of photometry and infrared SAM data in this selection process.
