Muon Bundle Reconstruction in Baikal Event: Classification and Analysis

This study focuses on the event reconstruction in the Baikal experiment, applying hit classification and events criteria to identify muon bundles and showers. Quality cuts and post-analysis techniques were implemented to improve reconstruction accuracy. Results indicate a promising survival rate for neutrino events and successful tests on shower energy reconstruction. Future outlook includes increasing hit analysis selectivity and exploring additional track parameters.

  1. 4-string stage (1996) Event reconstruction in the Baikal experiment I. Belolaptikovbelolap@nu.jinr.ru (Baikal collaboration)

  2. AGENDA • Hit classification criterion. • Events classification criteria. • Reconstruction (fitting) • Quality cuts. • Post analysis and outlook.

  3. Conditions of reconstruction • Scattering length(~30-40m) > absorption length (~20m) • Time response for muon reconstruction is close to single muon. • Muon track length > geometrical size of array.

  4. Hit classification - apply it for each pair in response Find channels with the number of violations >1 BUT: Still can be pairs which have wrong causality For each pair on the same string. If • There is at least 1 channel violating single muon model in time

  5. PA,q(R) Ti, Ai zij=Tj-Ti-DTmin(Lij,Ai,Aj)+d>0 S= min{zij}; Lij Tj, Aj R1 R2 R Event classification Aim: Find a parameter(s) which are sensitive to muon bundles and showers. Compare MC and experiment over this parameter. All events Nmu=1 S, nsec

  6. Multiplicity distribution of registrated muons for events with S<-0 Distribution over shower energy for events with S<-0 and Nm=1

  7. Quality cuts. • phit*pnonhit + • Amplitude correlation • Track length in array response • Amplitude Chi2 • Chi2_sh/Chi2_mu

  8. Neutrino selection cuts: • Zenith angle > 90 • Time-Z correlation • Nchan >6 RESULTS: (median) – for upward going events ≈ 3o Survival rate with respect to trigger 6/3 for neutrino events ≈20 % at S/N ≈ 10 (90% CL)

  9. Test of shower energy reconstruction with laser s(lgA)<0.1

  10. Postanalysis and outlook • Use all pairs to define “allowed” region in θ,φ to try tofind another track parameters. • Increase a selectivity of thehit analysis. • In case of finding hits out of single muon model, use a modelwith shower(s). μ(φ,θ,x,y,t0) l
