在液态氩中模拟强子试验束
Simulating hadron test beams in liquid argon
摘要:
对液氩量热法中涉及的物理过程进行全面建模,对于准确预测DUNE的性能和优化其设计和分析管道至关重要。在基本水平上,量化探测器对单个强子--质子、带电π介子和中子--在不同注入能量下的响应是至关重要的。我们报告这样一个模拟,在不同的假设下分析事件重建,如粒子识别和中子探测。事件遏制的作用也被量化。该模拟的结果有助于为ProtoDUNE试验梁数据分析提供信息,同时也为评估各种截面不确定性的影响提供了一个框架。
英文摘要:
Thorough modeling of the physics involved in liquid argon calorimetry is essential for accurately predicting the performance of DUNE and optimizing its design and analysis pipeline. At the fundamental level, it is essential to quantify the detector response to individual hadrons---protons, charged pions, and neutrons---at different injection energies. We report such a simulation, analyzed under different assumptions about event reconstruction, such as particle identification and neutron detection. The role of event containment is also quantified. The results of this simulation can help inform the ProtoDUNE test-beam data analysis, while also providing a framework for assessing the impact of various cross section uncertainties.
