Outline
The OPERA experience Why a magnetized ECC detector? Detector overview and performances Preliminary evaluation of the impact on
→, e→, e→, →e channels and the corresponding CP ones
Outlook
The OPERA experience
The detector is being constructed at the Gran Sasso Laboratory. Meanwhile several tests with charged
particles and neutrinos at FNAL are under way
An ECC brick is a self-consistent object. The whole detector is just an ensemble of bricks.

An ideal detector exploiting a Neutrino Factory should:
Identify and measure the charge of the muon (“golden channel”) with high accuracy
Identify and measure the charge of the electron with high accuracy (“time reversal of the golden channel”)
Identify the decays (“silver channel”) Measure the complete kinematics of an
event in order to increase the signal/back ratio
“MECC” structure
Stainless steel or Lead Film Rohacell
DONUT/OPERA type target + Emulsion spectrometer + TT + Electron/pi discriminator
B
Assumption: accuracy of film by film alignment = 10 micron (conservative)
13 lead plates (~2.5 X0) + 4 spacers (2 cm gap) (NB in the future we plan to study stainless steel as well. May be it will be the baseline solution: lighter target)
The geometry of the MECC is being optimized
3 cm Electronic detectors/ECC
Electron/pion discriminator à la NOMAD(“our dream”)
Having an electronic e/ discriminator would also allow for the golden channel search!
A detailed study is needed in order to optimize the discriminator
How many evts per brick?
Emulsions do not have time resolution How to disentangle events occurred at different time?
Key points
The MECC needs a time stamp: TT mandatory CC/NC classification needs MECC-TT match
The event density depends on the TT resolution The OPERA-like approach (thick target, 10 X0, and
TT attached to the ECC) does not work With the present set-up it works given the lightness
of the target-spectrometer region The scanning is not driven by the electronic
detectors: the matching is done after event location
Method for time stamp
TT is placed downstream from the target region (see previous slide)
TT segmentation varied between 1 and 5 cm 1 TT plane per projection Only digital information is used: 2 tracks
crossing one TT strip give 1 hit Optimization performed by using 10000 events
NC and CC for neutrinos with energy 15 and 40 GeV
#evts per brick as a function of TT segmentation
Results
We assume for the time being 100 events per brick.
Possible improvements: a higher granularity TT
Momentum measurement
Momentum and charge for mips Momentum and charge for electrons
Methods
Different methods have been tried Slope measurement (used in the past talk) Sagitta measurement Parabolic fit (also used for Kalman initialization) Kalman reconstruction
All methods have been implemented in a single program in order to ease the comparison
NB for all methods, but the Kalman, the momentum is compared at the exit of the target region (beginning of the spectrometer)
Momentum resolution
(1/p)(true –rec)/true
Charge misidentification
A better alignment
Electron studies (very preliminary)
Single electron with energies 1-5-10 GeV have been generated uniformly in the target region
reconstruction done on hits coming from the primary electron (preselection at true level)
Method: parabolic fit (Kalman for electrons requires some more work)
Given the non negligible energy loss in the target the electron energy at the exit is considered
True momentum at the target exit
Estimate of showering electrons
Momentum resolution vs zvertex
q-mis vs zvertex
Given the true-hit based reconstruction, the quoted charge misidentification can be seen as an lower limit. Anyhow it is a good starting point!
The silver channel
The old detector setup
• We considered a detector with 4 kton mass (lead)
• Only the muonic channel was considered (20% of the total decays)
• We considered only one event per brick
• Non-muonic decays discarded given the impossibility to measure the charge of the decay products
The detected number of silver events
Below 3° the silver channel contributes very little in disentangling the intrinsic degeneracy
What happens with the new setup based on the MECC technique?
How many silver events with MECC?
Let us assume a constant target mass: 4 kton We can collect about 100 events in a brick: x100 gain We can search for non muonic decays: x5 gain NB the background for non-muonic events has to be
carefully evaluated; rejection power due to the improved kinematical reconstruction wrt OPERA could be extremely useful
Overall gain: the silver statistics increases by a factor 500 significant contribution to the clone solution well below 3° (studies are in progress)
i.e. for L=3000km at 1° we expect more than 500 (100) silver events at δCP=90° (0°) rather than 1 or even less !
What about →e?
NB there are not yet detailed studies available
Just to give an idea (L=3000 km, θ13=5°, δCP=90°): anti-e with the wrong electron charge: ~104
e from oscillation: ~102
We have to search for a few% effect, but the S/B ratio may be improved by kinematical cuts
Outlook
Study the performance of a stainless steel target Detailed study of the way how to magnetize the
detector Define a realistic baseline for the e/ discriminator: its
choice depends on the total target mass, the TT width (i.e. how many evts per brick), the costs, …
Finalize the electron analysis: the e/ separation and the charge reconstruction
Check the sensitivity to the “golden” (the muon threshold is at 3 GeV!)
A full simulation of neutrino events is mandatory in order to evaluate the oscillation sensitivity and provide the input for GLOBES
We plan to perform a first exposure of a MECC on a charged beam at CERN this year

FEDRAOff-line reconstruction program
for emulsion data
Emulsion digitization is handled by this program
A realistic emulsion simulation (1/2)
1. The events are generated with Geant3/OpRoot with a 1 brick detector.
1. The output of this step is a root Ttree filled with generator level microtracks called TreeM (no smearing effects); - [ if a beamfile is used in the output file can be added a Ttree called TreeH with the beamfile informations]
2. The object microtrack is defined in the class Micro_Track (look at
http://web.na.infn.it/index.php?id=527);
2. The emulsion digitalization 1. accept as input a root Ttree file filled with microtracks as defined in the
class Micro_Tracks; 2. this step is decoupled from the event generation so, in principle, the
events could be produced also with the OpSim package or with other generators (Geant4, FLUKA) ;
3. At this step is performed the digitalization of the emulsions;4. The output of this step is a root Ttree filled with digitalized microtracks
called TreeMS (same structure of the TreeM);
A realistic emulsion simulation (2/2)
3. Analysis tools:1. A tool to perform the link up-down to take into account the linking
efficiency, this tool accept as input the TreeMS and produce as output a root Ttree (TreeMSE) filled with the digitalized microtracks that survive to the linking up-down;
2. A tool to convert the micro tracks Ttree (TreeM/TreeMS/TreeMSE) in x.x.cp.root files;
TAKE CARE: since at generator level there is no cut on the minimum energy of the microtrack , to make a realistic analysis it is fundamental to apply the link up-down algorithm that has low efficiency for very low energy base track (<5MeV)
4. Some tools to add background are included in the package (it is possible to merge real bg data or simulated bg with simulated events at cp-files level). Of course for people not using cp files it is also possible to merge simulated bg with simulated events by using standard root commands.

By taking into account that dx and dy are statistical errors gaussian distributed and dz is a maximal error with a flat distribution, these assumptions automatically give the expected dependences on :
“Since the base-tracks are constructed by using the 2 points at base, the same results are obtained for free for base-tracks too”
