A data-driven IceTop veto applied to 5 years of IceCube data reduces the cosmic-ray muon background to a passing fraction of about 2e-5 to 5e-6 and identifies a few candidate neutrino events that need simulation follow-up.

IceTop as veto for IceCube: results
A data-driven IceTop veto applied to 5 years of IceCube data reduces the cosmic-ray muon background to a passing fraction of about 2e-5 to 5e-6 and identifies a few candidate neutrino events that need simulation follow-up.
