Reconstruction Algorithm secondary secondary 18-05-2013 D.Kresan ACAT 2013, Beijing
Reconstruction Algorithm After the decision on the event type, neutron tracking algorithm starts Steps of neutron tracking: Eliminating secondary clusters (hits after elastic scattering of a neutron on proton) Sorting clusters according to the relative deviation from beam velocity (lower deviation -> higher priority) and cluster energy (higher energy -> higher priority). First cluster always stays first Taking necessary amount of clusters from the top of the sorted list as first interactions Calculation of relative energy from determined momentum of incident neutrons 18-05-2013 D.Kresan ACAT 2013, Beijing

Total Energy Deposit Very good agreement of maximum value, shape and minimum ionizing peak Slight discrepancy at lower energies: more background sources in experiment 18-05-2013 D.Kresan ACAT 2013, Beijing
Multiplicity Distribution Integration time of contributions from different tracks has the largest impact on multiplicity This parameter in simulation has no equivalent in the experiment 18-05-2013 D.Kresan ACAT 2013, Beijing
Summary Future R3B experiment at FAIR is fully supported with the simulation software by R3BRoot framework and work is ongoing to provide the tools for data analysis After detailed studies the performance of the neutron ToF spectrometer was significantly improved (TDR accepted by FAIR committee in Jan 2013) After adjusting the reconstruction algorithm, R3BRoot simulations were able to fully reproduce experimental data taken in test beam time in November 2012 18-05-2013 D.Kresan ACAT 2013, Beijing
