  1. MUPAGEand its parameterizationMUon PArametric GEneratorA generator of atmospheric muon eventsSTATUS A. Margiotta on behalf of Bologna group Dipartimento di Fisica – Università di Bologna e Sezione INFN Bologna

  2. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 MUPAGE is back again! • Some bugs found and corrected • In v2r1 showers hitting lateral surface leave the can volume, • instead of entering  the number of multimuon events entering • the lateral surface is suppressed • BUT • Unfortunately a new bug was introduced in v3r1  a problem • with a variable name • the corrected MUPAGE v3r2 is now available • on CVS Lyon Repository • cvs co mupage 2

  3. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 A short story of MUPAGE • Standalone c++ code based on the parameterization of the flux of single and multiple atmospheric muons (Astropart.Phys.25:1-13,2006) • Authors: Giada Carminati – Annarita Margiotta – Maurizio Spurio • INPUT: geometrical and physical information: • detector geometry, min and max muon energy, max lateral distance, min and max multiplicity……… • OUTPUT: ASCII file in table format or ANTARES format (I/O ANTARES library required) C++ code C++ code MUPAGE v3r2 parametric formulas parametric formulas

  4. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 The main steps rnd • (uniform) random generation of • bundle direction () • impact point on a can surrounding the active volume (X, Y, Z) • bundle multiplicity M • Hit-or-Miss method to reproduce the dependence of the flux on depth, zenith and multiplicity • M=1 (single muons): muon direction and impact point coincident with bundle direction and impact point. Energy according to the parametric formula • M>1 : radial and energy distribution of muons in a bundle extracted according to the parametric formulas H-M

  5. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 CAN for a km3 detector: Radius ≈ 500 m Height ≈ 1000 m Max.depth≈3.35 kmw.e. Given Ngenevents the program evaluates the equivalent livetime T • 8x106 events • LT ~ 1 day • CPU time ~ 50 minutes (in table format) (biprocessor Intel Xeon 3.06 GHz)

  6. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 Zenith distribution of reconstructed tracks (Aart Strategy - ANTARES) BEFORE AFTER −5% of reconstructed events

  7. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 Consistency check – 1 – flux vs depth Fexp = 6.0 x 10-5 m-2 s-1 sr-1 Fsim = (6.0 ± 0.1) x 10-5m-2 s-1 sr-1 Parametric formula

  8. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 Consistency check – 2 – energy distribution MUPAGEv3r2

  9. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 ANTARES results with 5 lines (QC) data MUPAGE CORSIKA (QGSJET01) + NSU model CORSIKA (QGSJET01) + Horandel model MC uncert.

  10. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 Ingredients of the parameterization • Primary CR flux • unpublished MACRO model constrained by measurements of underground muons • Primary CR interaction + shower propagation in atmosphere • HEMAS + DMPJET • Muon propagation in water • MUSIC MUPAGE

  11. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 Underwater muons: data

  12. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 Underwater muon: parameterizations

  13. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 Flux vs. zenith angle

  14. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 Comparison of parameterization with MACRO data Not only you can use MUPAGE, also its parameterization can be quoted agreement within 5%

  15. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 Conclusions • MUPAGE is now OK • (dis-)agreement with experimental data (ANTARES) is within 25-40%, depending on QC • parameterization • can reproduce very well old calculations (Okada and Bugaev, f.e.) • excellent agreement with underwater/ice and underground data

  19. A.Margiotta, KM3NeT meeting – Paris, 23/ 02/ 2009 Hit or Miss to model the flux dependence on h,  and m according to the parametric formulas; . • Event (h*, *, m*)is stored if, after generating arandom number u: 0< u < max=(hmin,0o,m=1) h*, *, m*
