大亚湾核试验的极大似然重建

Maximum likelihood reconstruction for the Daya Bay Experiment

Xia Dongmei

摘要:

大亚湾反应堆中微子实验是为了精确测定中微子混合角θ 13而设计的。在本文中,我们报告了一个极大似然(ML)方法来重建的顶点和能量的反中微子探测器中的事件,基于一个简化的光学模型,描述光的传播。我们用Co~(60)源对光学模型的关键参数进行了标定,并将光电倍增管的电荷预测值与实际观测值进行了比较。在优化的参数下,对Co~(60)γ射线的顶点重建分辨率可达25cm左右。

英文摘要:

The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino experiment is designed to precisely determine the neutrino mixing angle theta13. In this paper, we report a maximum likelihood (ML) method to reconstruct the vertex and energy of events in the anti-neutrino detector, based on a simplified optical model that describes light propagation. We calibrate the key paramters of the optical model with Co60 source, by comparing the predicted charges of the PMTs with the observed charges. With the optimized parameters, the resolution of the vertex reconstruction is about 25cm for Co60 gamma.
