Advanced Analysis of Tau Neutrino Interactions Using OPERA ECC Detection Techniques

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of tau neutrino interactions and their decay processes, utilizing data from March 10, 2009, at Nagoya University. The research focuses on the identification and separation of primary and kink points in event measurements, employing a 3D event viewer to analyze interactions from the neutrino beam. Key findings include a detailed methodology for measuring momentum, understanding the impact parameters related to decay, and the effective use of nuclear emulsion for sub-micron resolution. The OPERA ECC demonstrates significant potential for confirming tau neutrino interactions and enhancing detection capabilities in hadronic decay channels.

  7. Minimum-distance of any two tracks 17 events 119 combinations all electrons from p0 It is possible to separate origin of p0, where from 1ry or kink point. Under analysis(measure momentum..) mm

  8. Principle of detecting tau neutrino Topology nt cτ = 87 micron nt m-, e-, h- t- h h • Tau life time short  impact parameter to vertex is small •  nuclear emulsion (sub um resolution) • Feature of neutrino tau event • No lepton except tau at 1ry vertex • A decay candidate consistent with tau

  9. τ detection category Short flight decay　　　：７０％ IP > 5um Min_pt > 250Mev IP Long flight decay 　 ：３０％ q θkink > 20mrad pt > 250Mev

  10. OPERA CHORUS kink kink Film(700mm) Film(300mm) Lead (1mm) OPERA ECC can be measure momentum itself and detecting p0. -> It is possible to reject 2ry interaction by Pt cut and detecting r.

  11. Summary • OPERA ECC can confirm tau-neutrino interaction if the tau decay impact-parameter more than 5mm. • OPERA ECC has high-power for detecting hadronic decay channel. Because… • The momentum can be measured by MCS. • > reject 2ry interaction • Possible to judge the origin of p0(1ry vertex or kink). • > High potential r detection
