NuMI Data-MC comparisons Minerba Betancourt Minnesota Offline meeting 11-02-2011
Overview • Trying to compare Data and MC using POT normalization • Using Kalman Track with the following cuts: • Files passing DataCheck quality cuts • Files with more than 6 DCMs • Events in the fiducial region, CosNuMI>0.7 and events in the spill window t>217us and t<227us • Comparison for FHC Data
Track Length (cm) MC Scaled by POT Data after background subtraction Applying Random mask from Data to MC
Some masks from MC look like this example, but a fraction of the data was taken with the X view installed and the muon catcher for both view. This is why the discrepancy In the track length plot about 3m.
Number of planes and cells MC Scaled by POT
CosNuMI MC Scaled by POT
PE around the vertex MC Scaled by POT Using a function in the slicer to remove noise Without the noise
Total PE Using a function in the slicer to remove noise Without the noise
