Muon energy reconstruction with rime Dmitry Chirkin, LBNL
From Gary’s talk: usual hit positional/timing likelihood energy density terms Energy reconstruction From Chrisopher W. reconstruction paper: Therefore, w=1
Muon energy reconstruction The number of photons vs. distance to the track is constructed by merging 2 approximations: for the near and far (diffuse) regions. It works remarkably well (e.g., compared to similar approach for cascades). The reconstructed parameter is number of photons per unit length of the muon track times the effective PMT area. Energy can then be reconstructed using Area . Nc[m] = 32440 [m-1] (1.22+1.36 . 10-3 E/[GeV]) . 81 cm2
Dataset Dataset used for energy calibration is nugen simulation, at cut level of A=4 (corresponding to the angular resolution of 4 degrees)
Energy proxies Energy is estimated of the muon at the point of the closest approach to the COG of hits
Linearity/precision (rms) Linearity holds and rms is 0.3 at log10(E) from 4.4 to 7.4
Linearity/precision (rms) For MC weighted with Honda spectrum Linearity holds and rms is 0.3 at log10(E) from 3.6 to 7.6

Summary • Muon energy reconstruction with rime works very well and is a results of a joint reconstruction • at the final upgoing muon signal cut level energy reconstruction works well in over 4 orders of magnitude of energies from 103.6 to 107.6 GeV with rms of 0.3. • energy reconstruction appears to be functional at lower cut levels as well as for the downgoing shower data, with reduced resolution and narrower energy range.
