Description
We present ongoing work to extend Monopod, a likelihood-based reconstruction algorithm, to electron neutrino events in the IceCube Upgrade. The multi-PMT optical modules require response models that account for individual PMT orientations and sensitivities. We develop photon-response tables and spline parameterizations of the expected light yield and arrival-time distributions for use in Monopod. This poster describes the implementation, preliminary validation with simulated electron neutrino events, and remaining challenges in incorporating Upgrade sensor information into the reconstruction.
