皮埃尔俄歇天文台面阵中微子探测

Neutrino Detection with the Surface Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory

H. J. Blümer, D. Gora, M. Roth, A. Tamburro

摘要:

皮埃尔·俄歇天文台有能力通过搜索具有显著电磁成分的非常倾斜的簇射来探测中微子引起的大范围空气簇射。为了研究皮埃尔俄歇天文台表面阵列的探测器响应,对各种类型的上行和下行中微子簇进行了蒙特卡罗模拟。确定了一组相关的观测量来区分这些簇射和非常倾斜的强子簇射的背景,并研究了识别效率。最后根据入射中微子流的假设,计算了可接受率和预期事件率。

英文摘要:

The Pierre Auger Observatory has the capability of detecting neutrino-induced extensive air showers by searching for very inclined showers with a significant electromagnetic component. In order to study the detector response of the surface array of the Pierre Auger Observatory, Monte Carlo simulations of up-going and down-going neutrino showers for all flavors were performed. A set of relevant observables were determined to discriminate these showers from the background of very inclined hadronic showers and the identification efficiency was studied. The acceptance and the expected event rates, based on the assumption of the incoming neutrino flux, were finally calculated.
