CC ANALYSIS STUDIES Andy Blake Cambridge University Fermilab, September 2006
Dec 22, 2015
Overview
Andy Blake, Cambridge University CC talk, slide 2
• Have started to look at some CC analysis issues.
– Validation of R1.24.
– Study the current reconstruction + analysis.
• Long term goal is to optimize the measurement of sin2223.
– Need to accurately resolve the size of the oscillation dip.
– Need a clean event sample. (good CC/NC separation, good energy resolution, few reconstruction errors etc…)
• This talk is divided into the following topics: (I) energy reconstruction. (II) CC/NC separation.
Data Selection
Andy Blake, Cambridge University CC talk, slide 3
• Far Detector beam Monte Carlo SR ntuples (R1.24c). ~75,000 beam events.
• Apply simple pre-selection to reconstructed events: 1 event per snarl (avoid split events for now). >10 digits per event (below tracking threshold). signature of CC interaction is reconstructed track.
• Define fiducial volume: 50 cm from edge of detector. 40 cm from centre of coil hole. 5 planes from beginning of detector 5 planes either side of super-module gap. 20 planes from end of detector.
Event Reconstruction
Andy Blake, Cambridge University CC talk, slide 5
Muon Reconstruction:
Define longest track to be primary track.
FC events: both vertex and end inside fiducial volume. use momentum from range.
PC events: vertex inside fiducial volume. end not inside fiducial volume. use momentum from curvature.
Shower Reconstruction:
Collect up all sub-showers close to the event vertex. Add in unassigned strips not along primary track.
Neutrino Energy:
neutrino energy = muon momentum + shower energy.

associated with muon track
a sub-shower is associated with vertex shower if: Zshw-Zevt<0.5m OR E>0.5 GeV OR shower not on track.
Shower Reconstructionan unassigned strips are associated with vertex shower if: PHeast+PHwest>200 ADCs AND strips not adjacent to track.
( Approximate 10,000 SigCor ~ 1 GeV for these strips).

R1.18.2 R1.24c
• The bias at low muon energies has always existed!
• Caused by over-tracking and/or mis-tracking (track finder prefers longer tracks)
• Bias is reduced by the introduction of the new track finder in R1.24c.
• Bias is worse in shower-like events, so will be correlated with PID parameter.

Divide up PID distributions by track length. (i) track planes < 25 (ii) 25 < track planes < 50 (iii) track planes > 50
Use the difference in the shape of the PID distributions as a function oftrack length to enhance the CC/NC separation at low neutrino energies.
(i) ~100% of tracks with >50 planes are CC events. (ii) distributions of track PH / event PH change markedly for short tracks. (iii) track-like planes + fit error provide some separation at low energies.

Summary
Andy Blake, Cambridge University CC talk, slide 32
• Reconstruction appears to be in pretty good shape.
– Energy reconstruction is accurate with good resolution.
– Some small problems and biases, but very hard to handle.
– Only a small number of outlying events fall into oscillation region.
• Oscillation dip is better resolved by dividing events by resolution.
– This may improve the measurement of sin2223.
•Some improvement possible in CC/NC separation.
– ~10% improvement in selection efficiency at low energies.
• Lots more work for me to do!
