离轴近探测器T2K中产生中性π介子的中性流相互作用研究

Study of the Neutral-Current interactions with production of neutral pions in the T2K off-axis near detector

Anna Dabrowska

摘要:

该分析旨在研究在探测器ND 280附近的T2 K离轴中产生至少一个处于终态(incNC $π^0$)的中性π介子($π^0$)的中微子诱导中性电流(NC)相互作用。这项研究的动机是为了更好地理解/消除在远探测器Super-Kamiokande分析的电子中微子外观的背景。由于$π^0$衰变是外观搜索的背景,包含和排他性中微子相互作用截面的良好知识是改善T2 K振荡分析中相关系统不确定性的关键。这项研究的结果可以与使用不同中微子相互作用发生器产生的一些蒙特卡罗样本进行比较。这可能会产生关于中微子-核子相互作用模型的信息。可与已从T2 K近检测器分析获得的incCC $π^0$样品进行进一步比较。在这张海报中,将介绍用于收集塑料闪烁体(CH)与至少一个处于最终状态的$π^0$的包容性中性电流中微子相互作用的选择标准,包括如何改进选择标准的讨论。我还将讨论选择中的变化,包括使用拟合方法来改进incNC $π^0$相互作用率的测量。

英文摘要:

This analysis aims to study inclusive neutrino-induced Neutral Current (NC) interactions that produce at least one neutral pion ($π^0$) in the final state (incNC$π^0$ ) in the T2K off-axis near detector ND280. The motivation for this study is to better understand/eliminate the background to electron neutrino appearance analyzed at the far detector Super-Kamiokande. As $π^0$ decays are background to the appearance search, a good knowledge of both inclusive and exclusive neutrino interaction cross sections are key to improving associated systematic uncertainties in T2K oscillation analyses. Results from this study can be compared to a number of Monte Carlo samples produced using different neutrino interaction generators. This could yield information about models of neutrino-nucleon interactions. Further comparisons can be made with the incCC$π^0$ sample already obtained from a T2K near detector analysis. In this poster, the selection criteria used to collect inclusive neutral current neutrino interactions on plastic scintillator (CH) with at least one $π^0$ in the final state will be presented, including a discussion of how selection criteria were improved. I will also discuss the changes in the selections, including use of a fitting method to improve measurement of the incNC$π^0$ interaction rate.
