DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jan Soedingrekso (TU Dortmund)\nMuons are the domina
 nt event signature for neutrino telescopes like IceCube and are the main b
 ackground for neutrino searches.\nFurthermore\, they are used to investiga
 te extended air showers.\nIn both cases\, the stochasticity of the muon pr
 opagation is one key to perform the data extraction and an accurate unders
 tanding even of the edge cases is crucial.\nThe main process driving stoch
 astic losses for TeV muons is bremsstrahlung.\n\nIn this talk\, a feasibil
 ity study is presented to measure the cross section of stochastic losses u
 sing neutrino-induced muons.\nThe simulation study is based on the propaga
 tion of muons using the Monte-Carlo library PROPOSAL.\nFor different recon
 struction methods and resolutions\, the energy loss distribution for diffe
 rent muon energies is used to estimate the sensitivity to measure the brem
 sstrahlung cross section.\nTwo further systematic parameters\, the detecti
 on efficiency\, which scales the amount of detected light\, and the spectr
 al index are also estimated to analyze their correlation to the estimated 
 bremsstrahlung normalization.\nThe simulation statistic corresponds to 10 
 years of up-going muon neutrino data in IceCube.\n\nhttps://indico.particl
