D.DuchesneauOPERA collaboration meeting
Hamburg, June 6th 2004
(on behalf of Pasquale)
Original talks are accessible on OPERA file server.
Update of brick-finding analysis
The optimization of the neural network for the subclasses for CC and NC events is done.
The analysis for CC events was presented during the last meeting at Cern (December). A little improvement compared to the last results shown comes from an optimization for QE like events. The analysis for NC events is completed as well. Two subclasses are defined: Long events and Short events (optimization for the taue QE).
The results are given in this presentation: the details will be given at the next collaboration meeting.

Update of brick-finding analysis
Application of the 3D map: 3 extraction strategies are tested
• Extraction of the highest probability brick (only 1 brick)
• Extraction of the second most probable brick if the vertex is not found under the condition P1-P2 < threshold (2 bricks)
• Extraction of all bricks with significative probabilities (cutoff at 1%) until the vertex is found.

The total scanning overload is performed taking into account the rate NC/CC. The additional mass reduction of the target is estimated taking into account the mass reduction expected with the nominal beam.
• If only one brick is extracted, the efficiency for the channel is a little greater than the proposal, for other channels, they are lower. • But, if we decide to extract the second most probable brick, therefore the efficiencies are better than those of the proposal for all channels.For instance, if all bricks are extracted, for the channel, the gain in efficiency is 9.5% - 1.9% = 7.6% better than the proposal.

HE cosmic ray muons,e/ identification and μ → e oscillations
Max Sioli, Physics Coordination Meeting, CERN 23 Apr 04
(Laurea Thesis of Antonio Petrella)
Outline of this study:
• Simulate HE cosmic ray muons inside OPERA (integrated in one year) and secondary particles generated by them;
• Compute the effect of these background tracks on the e/ Id;
• Example of application of this study:μ → e oscillation channel.
e
Example of a e
CC event overlapping an e.m. shower
Due to the huge number of secondary particles (Ekin_cut = 1 MeV), simulation has been restricted to 9 walls (3328 brick/wall):8 insensitive volumes and 1 sensitive volume (in the center)
• cone aperture = 50 mrad (A50)
• cone aperture = 250 mrad (A250)
• relative deviation wrt event axis =200 mrad (D200)
• releative deviation wrt event axis = 400 mrad (D400)
For each emulsion:
e/ Id: use of a NN
is passed to the NN (using the prescriptions in the Laurea Thesis of L.S. Esposito)
Impact of e.m. showers on CS
This bg is not uniform as comptonelectron from lead.
Here we considered 1 MONTH offading time
Similar results obtained using the strong fading model
•Strong fading model approximation:g(t) = g0exp(-t/)n
μ → e oscillation channel• This computation has been performed
according to hep-ph/0210043 (therefore NOT a full simulation)
• The only differences are:– Signal efficiencies taken from Status Rep
and CS note;– Signal efficiency computed with eId
parametrizatrization;– Energy resolution smeared out according
to parametrization;
In each ( sin2(2m232 ), we computed the curve 222
min = 4.61, corresponding to 90% C.L.
•Main contribution to the sensitivity arises from the poissonian
fluctuations of bg event numbers.
•Nominal beam intensity

5 years in OPERA detector
The beam is adjustable: by moving the horns and target, different energy spectra are available.
4x1020 protons on target/year
Near detector location:
LE beam: 1 CC / Kg /day
ME 2 CC / Kg /day
HE 3.2 CC / Kg /day
1 brick = 8.3 Kg >1 CC / brick/hour
In 2005 it is foreseen a period at HE for about 10% of the time
•Start of commissioning (5x1012
protons/pulse)
20 November 2004 (1 month)
Beam line components not cheched initially with the same accuracy as CNGS, will be debugged during commissioning
Start of physics:
January 2005 ?
OPERA test-beam:
Two independent setups:
ECC array with old DONUT SFT detector (mini-OPERA)To collect the largest possible number of neutrino interactions in the bricks:
Scanning technique practice (opera rehearsal),vertex studies, 0 reconstruction, multiple scattering, p& K IDuse different passive materials (lead, iron), run for a long time also with LE beam, collaboration with the DONUT people SFT + MINOS for muon ID
Hybrid detector: get a few hundreds of well measured events in with:
ECC+ Si trackers + ECAL + neutron detector + MINOS
Hybrid sophisticated detector:
The high intensity of the NUMI beam at the near detector location allows to work with a small target mass and compact and sophisticated detectors (not possible with CNGS), made with all recycled componentsIt is possible to build a precise detector around a single brick
It is a good occasion to perform a precise measurement of all what is produced in the neutrino interaction in the brick and to check also the production of backward particles which is relevant in OPERA for the BF analysis. We are interested in particular in the HE run
These results are also useful for the neutrino community for the investigation of nuclear effects, bricks can be made in Pb, Fe
This is not a new experiment (in competition with MINERVA) but just a test-beam performed with a small setup with the goal of collecting a few hundreds CC well measured.

The detector is made with existing/recycled componentsWe can afford a sophisticated detector for one brick, given its small size. This is possible due to the high neutrino flux.
The detector can fit in a space of 1.5 m longitudinal, < 1 m transverse which, can be available in between Minerva and Minos due to the MINOS ND coils (The magnetic field map should be checked). The idea is to change the brick exposed a few times per day (depending on the max number of interactions we want to accept per brick (HE run: 27 interactions per day).
The neutron detector will be made of scintillator strips ‘we can recycle some of the TT building waste) with WLS fibers readout and M64 photomultipliers + standard opera TT electronics. The layers of strips will be crossed in X and Y.
For the neutron detector one possibility is to have just in the side close to the brick a thin foil of lead to be used as preshower in order to distinguish photons from neutrons. This could be put just at the beginning or after a few layers (2 layers) of scintillator in order to allow to detect some soft particles which would die in the lead (to be optimized with the ongoing simulation)
Some passive material could also be introducedamong the scintillator layers for a better containement, probably we will have to put an absorber in between the veto and neutron detector in order not to reject interesting events
Pb, in this case put at the beginning

The Si tracker can be recycled from a CMS prototype
The ECAL can be recycled from NOMAD lead-glass prototypes
The trigger will be based on the ECAL + VETOIn order to isolate the interactions really happening in the brick instead than in the ECAL or the neutron detector one has to look at the hit/tracks pattern in the Si tracker planes (check before the brick extraction)
The connection with the events measured with the MINOS DAQ (as for the SFT detector) will be done on the basis of the time-stamp
Conclusions: (Dario on April 23rd 2004)
First discussions with the MINOS/FNAL people have already been performed, Komatsu presentation at MINOS coll. Meet.We are writing, as requested by FNAL people, a MOU for this test which should be ready in a couple of weeks (about 10 pages) This document is needed for FNAL in order to establish the use of resources (space, time schedule, electrical power, manpower, infrastructures) and the potential impact on the other programs We are sorting out also the technical aspects related to MINOS (timestamp, B field) The emulsion processing capabilities at FNAL have to be reactivated On a long time scale some collaboration from local people (DONUT) to run the test is needed This test can be quite useful for OPERA to learn about neutrino interactions in the bricks in a controlled way
