Double Chooz 22 May 2013 Maury Goodman 15
Double Chooz 22 May 2013 Maury Goodman - ANL DOE Intensity Review 16 First of three reactor experiments to measure 13. Argonne Interests: Background - Are backgrounds low enough to justify a larger reactor neutrino experiment for 13 if needed? Answer – not needed Calibration; We (Djurcic et al.) designed & constructed Z-axis system; articulated arm; Planned deployment, analyzed Comment – These elements are crucial for a future reactor experiment for mass hierarchy, e.g. Daya Bay 2.

Double Chooz Ph.D. student Guang Yang (ANL advisor: Zelimir Djurcic IIT advisor: Dan Kaplan) Double Chooz thesis by 2015 on: Detection Analysis using deployed 252 Cf radioactive sources. Energy Scale systematics studies using radioactive sources, spallation neutrons, and radioactivity. Radioactive background characterization: spatial & time distribution, and use in energy scale and analysis. Use LED flusher to determine linearity of detector response from low (~1 MeV) to higher (~100 MeV) E. Implement above results in Double Chooz energy scale and oscillation analysis improvements. Thesis topic selected to reflect ANL strengths and address issues in detection of reactor anti-neutrinos relevant to future short-baseline (reactor anomaly studies) and long-baseline reactor anti-neutrino experiments.

Steve Magill will oversee the installation, as Jon Paley’s did for NDOS. Commissioning of Far and Near Detectors Perform checkouts of newly-installed hardware Test and optimize new detector operating procedures Help in optimization of DAQ and DCS (slow control) software Data-checks on detector elements using cosmic rays and the NuMI beam Produce performance reports for each commissioned detector element These tasks are currently ongoing for the Far Detector and will start in fall 2013 for the Near Detector NUMI beam data-taking (starting June 2013) Start and maintain data-taking runs for the steadily-increasing number of commissioned detector elements in both Far and Near Detectors Monitor hardware slow controls and detector environmental conditions Perform real-time performance checks of data using a suite of monitoring and analysis software 22 May 2013 Maury Goodman 30 NOvA Plans, Run Coordination
A new technique (HMatrix) based on hit correlations in an EM shower ➜ sensitive to e - /π 0 separation Developed (S. Magill) for ILC Tested with NOνA reconstruction using single particle MC of 2 GeV Developing a full particle flow method for NOνA event analysis. Optimization of the HMatrix technique is the key element in the separation of ν e events (electron ID) from background (π 0 s). Use hit correlations based on data from e - test beam rather than MC. 22 May 2013 Maury Goodman 31 NOvA Plans, e identification transverse shape rejects 65% π 0 while retaining 90% e-.
22 May 2013 Maury Goodman 32 NO A Plans, NDOS CC data MSU Ph.D. “Lab Grad” Student E. Arrieta Diaz Measure the inclusive cross section of 2 GeV from the charged current interactions, using NOvA NDOS. (Previous BNL measurements at 1 GeV and Deuterium target, and T2K measurement at ~1 GeV) Data will use × Protons On Target ~ 2000 candidates Main tasks: Charged current event selection criteria. Neutral current background estimation. Neutrino energy reconstruction and estimation. Event selection efficiencies. Systematic errors estimation. Neutrino flux calculation. Cross section calculation.

J. Paley – hadron production experience from MIPP Use the NO A near detector data to predict the flux that will be seen in the NOνA far detector. Framework uses the ratio of far to near detector events, energy migration matrices, efficiencies, and purities, as determined from MC, in combination with near detector data. black: all ν e red: ν e from μ+ blue: ν e from K+ magenta: ν e from KL Correlation between ν e and ν μ (produced along with μ) from π+ at NO A Near
22 May 2013 Maury Goodman 34 NO A Plans, Beam simulations NuMi Beam Simulation verification (e.g. G4NuMi, FLUKA). Fit the neutrino flux to NO A ND data and combine it with MINOS data and other experiments Use hadron production results to constrain beam simulations wherever possible Work with NuMI-X working group Study the beam systematic uncertainties to the oscillation analyses Develop a method to estimate the beam electron neutrino background using hadron production (pion/kaon ratio) data to constrain this component using fits of the neutrino spectrum to NO A ND beam data as well as constraints from MINOS ND beam data
22 May 2013 Maury Goodman 35 NO A Plans Cosmic ray Background to e Cosmic rays, most notably muons, are one of the backgrounds for the e appearance signal in NO A. The sensitivity of NO A is limited by fluctuations in this background if it is not small. To date, an exhaustive study of the level of contamination in the Far Detector by CRs has not been done. We are investigating the NDOS CR data in order to determine an estimate of the CR background at the Far Detector. Tools for Far Detector data when CR data is available Cosmic Ray Monte Carlo based studies Methods Scan NDOS cosmic data files using the Event Display Apply various cuts to filter out uninteresting events. Cuts will include fiducial volume cuts, cuts on single-plane events, cuts requiring an EM shower... Other cuts are yet to be determined. Address the problem of bad channels in the NDOS Identify any remaining (i.e. interesting) events and determine if they contribute to the background

Beyond NO A and LBNE? The entire group is deeply involved in the Snowmass process, which is trying to identify other future projects for our field The opportunities in the neutrino sector seem particularly open to new ideas and an abundance of new proposals. Our planning has led us to reduce our involvement in Double Chooz and MINOS(+) and concentrate on the near term opportunities in NO A and the long-term opportunities in LBNE. Neverthless, we continue to imagine other ways to increase our understanding of the neutrino sector (Daya Bay 2?, EXO?...) If other parts of the intensity program seem appropriate, we will be there leading the way, as we did for MINOS, Double Chooz and NO A. 22 May 2013 Maury Goodman 44
Summary The neutrino sector has questions that can and will be answered in the next few years. The (hard working) ANL intensity group will be an important part of answering them May 2013 Maury Goodman Neutrino Questions within the 3 neutrino paradigm: What is the quadrant of 23 ? What is the mass hierarchy? What is the mass scale? Are Dirac or Majorana? What is ? Can and should we measure s and m 2 s more accurately?
Backup & Answers to Questions 22 May 2013 Maury Goodman - ANL DOE Intensity Review 46
Spreadsheets: manpower is 1 grad student from MSU, 1 from ITT budgets have 0 grad students Report: page 29 clearly says ANL is "supporting" the MSU grad student, repeated on page 31 page 50 claims they have 3 graduate students currently Where is the list of graduate students they are currently mentoring with affiliations, expected graduation dates, and students expected to come on board in the next 3 years? Who is actually paying for these students? Are they being paid for by the universities but not accounted for under the university manpower? Is there "double-dipping" going on in claims of manpower for these grad students? It's impossible to tell from the information provided. There are three graduate students with current or future ANL support through M&S: Guang Yang from IIT will finish in 2015 Enrique Arietta Diaz from MSU will finish in 2014 Jose Andres Sepulveda from Iowa State has been at ANL, but his support from ANL will start in September Tian Xin, another graduate student from Iowa State, is based at ANL with our group. We do not provide any M&S support. There is no double dipping. 22 May 2013 Maury Goodman - ANL DOE Intensity Review 47
Why is there no participation in Double Chooz at all for either budget, and for the future research plan? DOE monitors have been discouraging significant future participation in Double Chooz. As a direct result of the 2013 sequestration, contributions to the operating funds for Double Chooz (which had been handled for all DOE groups by ANL) were retroactively withdrawn. One can debate the value or lack thereof of future data from Double Chooz after the near detector is installed. Nevertheless, we feel that support for the one graduate student, Guang Yang, supervised by Zelimir Djurcic, is required for the remainder of his graduate student career. 22 May 2013 Maury Goodman - ANL DOE Intensity Review 48
They are finishing up MINOS analyses, why is there no manpower listed for that for the next 3 years? It still counts, and it still takes away from the resources for the other experiments The only continuing significant work on MINOS after October 2013 is being done by Phil Schreiner and Tom Fields, who are both “retired”, i.e. not getting paid. We previously chose not to participate in MINOS+, i.e. running MINOS with the NO A Medium Energy beam. 22 May 2013 Maury Goodman - ANL DOE Intensity Review 49
If there is a budget cut, ANL will only reduce contributions to NOvA. Why? What exactly will be cut? The only difference in budget sheets is going from 3.86 permanent PhDs to That isn't a reduction in savings, that's moving numbers around. The permanent PhDs are salaried and have to then be paid by some other source - but since nothing else is increased for the permanent PhDs to offset this, that means they must be working on things outside of HEP at ANL. Alternatively, there could be a furlough. I would appreciate clarification. No specific personnel decisions have been made for that scenario. Permanent Ph.Ds do move among the experimental programs within the division. For the two joint appointees, how much of their time is truly free for ANL, vs how much of their salary is paid by ANL? I cannot comment if it is appropriate for Sanchez to only put in 10% research on ANL activities if I don't know how much of her salary is covered by ANL. Postdoc Ioana Anghel works full time at ANL. Mayly Sanchez spends her summers and other occasional time at ANL. 22 May 2013 Maury Goodman - ANL DOE Intensity Review 50
The Personnel Distribution spreadsheet is in contradiction with the report. The report claims current activities are: MINOS, Double Chooz, NOvA, LBNE, and g-2. The future research is NOvA, LBNE, g-2, mu2e. The spreadsheet lists activities for MINOS, Double Chooz, NOvA, and LBNE (no g-2). Is this spreadsheet for current or future personnel distribution? Regardless of which it is for, where is the distribution for the other situation (current or future), and why do the experiments not line up with the current/future ones listed in the proposal? The spreadsheet accidentally didn’t include Peter Winter (for g-2). This spreadsheet ( with clear instructions) is snapshot of May May 2013 Maury Goodman - ANL DOE Intensity Review 51
