Beam Catcher in the KOPIO experiment• KOPIO experiment measures KL 0mode• Identification : Detect and nothing veto
1. What is Beam Catcher?
Vetoing extra particle is predominant defense to BG

1. What is Beam Catcher?
• Photon veto which covers beam core region
• under high neutron rate– ~10GHz (>10MeV)
• Need to be…– efficient to rays : 99% @ 300MeV– inefficient to neutrons : 0.3% @ 0.8GeV
• Aerogel Cherenkov + distributed geometry
– suppress neutron efficiency

Aerogel Quality Control System
(i) Transmittance– LED (light source) + PMT (photo detector)
It is important to control optical properties of aerogel

Note that Rayleigh scattering is dominant in Aerogel
Two parameters, A and CT, are used as the input to our MC simulation .
Can it predict correct light yield?
