  1. Beam ne’s from antineutrinos − Preliminary Results − David Jaffe and Pedro Ochoa • Preliminaries • Data & MC • Expected sensitivities • Preliminary results • Outlook September 27th 2007

  2. C=n(p,K)pHE-n(p,K)LE n(m+)LE n(m+)pHE n(p,K)pHE-n(p,K)LE Preliminaries • Goal is to measure the antineutrinos from m+ decay (brothers of beam ne’s) • Antineutrinos fromm+ are the most affected when changing the beam configuration. The technique for the measurement is: 1) Scale pHE and LE nDATA to same POT and subtract npHE-nLE+C (simulated) 2) Apply a correction C for n from p- and K- parents 3) Fit resulting distribution (top right) using shapes from the MC scaled by parameters parHE and parLE: x parLE x parHE

  3. Preliminaries • More details on the method in minos-doc 2783 • Measurement can also be done with pME data (minos-doc 2706) • Statistical error with 1.6x1019 POT of pHE data was expected to be ~15% (minos-doc 3230) • Systematics were addressed in minos-docs 2909 & 3230. In particular: • Systematic error from background uncertainty is practically negligible on n(m+)LE • Errors in n(m+)LE determination from horn & target systematics are in the order of ~5-10% • Systematic errors associated with hadron production uncertainties are yet to be determined. Some on this at the end.

  4. Data & MC • Data & MC used: • DATA le010z185i runI: 2.46x1019 POT • DATA le010z185i runII: 2.21x1019 POT cedar_phy • DATA le250z200i runII: 1.41x1019 POT • MC le010z185i: 4.44x1019 POT daikon-cedar all available ! • MC le250z200i: 1.19x1019 POT • POT values for DATA are after “good beam” cuts. • The le010z185i data used corresponds to the same data used in the latest CC analysis and is evenly distributed along that period (runI + beginning of runII)  Thanks to Tricia for these pans !

  5. All MC p- parent K- parent KL parent m+ parent Background All MC p- parent K- parent KL parent m+ parent Background • Data & reweighted MC antineutrino spectra: data/MC (no SKZP) data/MC le010z185i le010z185i data/MC (no SKZP) data/MC le250z200i le250z200i Note: SKZP “PiMinus_CedarDaikon”, run I configuration (more details in slides 16-17)

  6. n(p-,K-)LE n(p-,K-)pHE n(m+)LE n(m+)pHE Expected sensitivities • Before fitting the data tested the routine with fake data. • Used smoothed MC histograms (shown in grey) to construct scenario. • Fake data is produced by statistically fluctuating the histograms. • The fit is done “manually” (no Minuit) Background pHE Background LE

  7. Scenario 1: “best possible” • Distribution of 1000 fake experiments: Χ2best fit = 28.6 Best possible stat. error Accuracy of contour confirmed by distribution of fake experiments • This is the best measurement we can do with the current amount of pHE data: Best fit Wassup with the bias 68% C.L. 90% C.L. One fake experiment

  8. Scenario 2: “now” • Distribution of 1000 fake experiments: Χ2best fit = 28.5 • This is the kind of measurement we expect to do now: Best fit 68% C.L. 90% C.L. One fake experiment

  9. Preliminary results • Our results, with statistical uncertainties only: Best fit: parLE=1.525 ± 0.37 parHE=0.522 ± 0.19 DΧ2 68% C.L. 90% C.L. pHE(data) – LE(data) + C(MC) Nominal case (parLE=parHE=1) Dχ2=16.9 Best fit Prob(42.3,28) = 4.1% Χ2best fit = 25.4 Prob(25.4,28) = 60.6% pHE(data) – LE(data) + C(MC)

  10. Preliminary results • Fit results in other conditions: Consistent with expectation as described in minos-doc 2909 • Difference with “No SKZP” case stems mainly from ~15% difference in low energy (< 10 GeV) region of C: ratio SKZP • How much of this change is attributed to hadron production only by SKZP, and how much to other effects?

  11. Outlook • How much more can the result be improved? (without taking more data) • Contours calculated assuming same best fit value and 1.41x1019 POT of pHE data: For an infinite amount of LE data and LE MC, with current amount of pHE MC (1.3x1019 POT) LE data =2x1020 POT LE MC =2.5x1020 POT with current amount of pHE MC For an infinite amount of pHE MC, LE data and LE MC →max. goal LE data =2x1020 POT LE MC =2.5x1020 POT pHE MC = 7x1019 POT • LE data & MC POT of ~2x1020 POT is already “infinite” for our purposes. • With ~5 times more pHE MC can get close to the max. goal

  12. Summary • Our preliminary results confirm the SKZP prediction of n(m+) to 1.4s (statistics only) • A couple of things left to do: • Run with more data & MC. Need ~5 times more pHE MC. • Assign a systematic error to our measurement • A much smaller systematic error could be obtained by doing the measurement with pME data, as shown in minos-doc 2706.

  16. → What about the two running periods? • Reweighting in runI or in runII modality does not change the antineutrinos at all. • What about the background (made mostly of CC nm’s)? le250z200i bkgd (Reweighted for runI) le250z200i bkgd (Reweighted for runII) • Difference between the plots above is tiny !  difference • Reweighted everything for runI.

  17. All MC p- parent K- parent KL parent m+ parent Background All MC p- parent K- parent KL parent m+ parent Background Preliminary results • Scale m+component by best fit values and compare with data: le010z185i data/MC (before) data/MC (after scaling) le010z185i le250z200i data/MC (before) data/MC (after scaling) le250z200i

  18. Best fit: parLE = 1.85 parHE = 0.44 • Preliminary results (no SKZP) Nominal case (parLE=parHE=1) Real data Dχ2=35.2 Best fit Real data
