The output from this combined filtering contains all different filter streams. The stream called WIMP stream is the one taylored for Earth WIMP searches. When proceeding with the work on analysis, this stream is selected. In order to make some of the work useful also for Solar WIMP searches I included also the usual upgoing events (on request from Carlos).
In addition to these selections I make the cleaning and reconstructions that are usually applied at L2, closely following the Zeuthen L2 steering, but without additional cuts. The idea is that the user can make further cuts in connection with adding more reconstructions or making ntuples of the files. (For example: I make a strong angular cut on the likelihood reconstruction and then pipe the files to munt.)
For reference the steering files, calibration files and scripts are provided here.

To state explicitly what is selected in the steering file: the data files I have prepared contain events fulfilling at least one of the following two criteria:
So this is some preprocessing to prepare a generally useful data set for people working with WIMP analyses. By the help of Carlos all of the data from 2001, 2002, and 2003 is processed to this level. It is located at /afs/ifh.de/group/amanda/data_wimp and available for people with accounts at DESY. A copy of the 20% sample from 2002 is stored at the Madison computer cluster after request, located in /data/exp/AMANDA/wimp-filtered/.
