  2. Outline • Muon track reconstruction • Tagging efficiency • Position resolution • Difference in angles between tracktrue and trackrec • Summary

  3. Background – why do we need muon tagging? • Correlated background • Muon induced neutron background: cosmic muons produce neutrons in the target region via spallation and muon capture. • Neutrons through going muon: muons intersect the detector and should be indentified by the veto system • Neutrons stopping muon: negative muons stopped in the target region can be captured by nuclei where a neutron is released afterward • Beta-neutron cascades: muon spallation on 12C nuclei in the organic liquid scintillator may generate 8He, 9Li, and 11Li which may undergo beta decay with a neutron emission  even if they are tagged by the veto system they can live long enough such that their decay cannot be associated with the last tagged muon. • Uncorrelated background • Radioactivity due to PMTs • Radioactivity due to detector materials • Radioactivity from rock • Single neutron events induced by cosmic muons

  4. Muon tagging for rejecting the muon induced neutron background (a) muon (c) muon (b) muon (a) neutrons produced by mouns that pass through the LS (b) neutrons produced in the buffer (c) neutrons produced in the veto

  5. Muon track reconstruction • Muons pass through the detector • Scintillation photons along the entire path in scintillator. • Scintillation photons travel isotropically from the muon track • Cerenkov photons in the buffer oil and scintillator. • Cerenkov photons are produced at an angle, theta, relative to the muon tracking • The earliest to hit a particular PMT come from the muon track at the same angle as the cherenkov photons. • Using the first photons to arrive at a PMT allow us to use the same model (light propagation) for cherenkov and scintillation photons. • Muon track entrance and exit points • Muon track entrance is estimated from the PMT with the earliest photon hit • Exit point can be determined by using the PMT with the highest number of photoelectrons

  7. Muon tagging efficiency (need to check with high statistics) • top incident: 609 (topbottom:479, topside:130) • side incident: 391 (Sidebottom:142, sideside:249)

  11. A ~140cm Veto (OD) B ~40cm Buffer (ID) C ~120cm D Difference in angles between tracktrue and trackrec • Muon tracking • Difference in angles (between tracktrue and BDrec)

  12. Difference in angles between trktrue and rec with four categories BD top  bottom top  side Difference in angles Difference in angles side  bottom side  side Difference in angles Difference in angles

  13. Summary • Muon track reconstruction (very preliminary) • Tagging efficiency • 100% using 1000 events (Need to check with high statistics !!) • Position resolution • Using ID pmts: RMS of ~70cm (entrance), RMS of ~60cm (exit) • Using OD pmts: RMS of ~20cm (entrance), RMS of ~170cm (exit) • Muon Difference in angles between tracktrue and trackrec • Muon tracking with entrance from ID pmts and exit from OD pmts • difference in angles between tracktrue and trackBD: mean of 4.3 degree, rms of 3.2 • need to improve the algorithm • need to optimize the arrangement of OD pmts
