North Pole !

 With the aim of constructing a detector of km3 scale in the Northern hemisphere, both in view of size and competition with IceCube: form a single coherent collaboration collecting all the efforts underway  Prepare report to ApPEC PRC with following informations: - optical properties of water, incl. seasonal variations and using the same devices - optical background and sedimentation - comparative simulations about impact of depth and water properties to some benchmark km3 detectors (focussing to the central goals of Nu Telescopes)  Single design study in the European FP6 framework  New review in one year (summer 2004)

Promising steps: - Long term measurement of sedimentation a la Antares at NEMO site (just one example) - next: measurement of volume scattering function - Collaborations envisage to cross calibrate site informations by measuring water parameters at NESTOR site with AC-9 device - Comparative studies of detectors at different depths, with different noise rates and with 3 principal architecures have been done in a first approach (Dmitry Zaborov, Piera Sapienza). Also Nestor has done a lot of km3 simulations.

Next steps in simulation: Form a task force group on detector simulation: - Agree on a working plan (October) - Input to application for a European Design Study (November) - First results on comparative studies to ApPEC (Next spring/summer) - don‘t prioritize site decision in initial phase but just simulate benchmark detectors characterized by a tuple of basic parameters (say depth 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 km, noise 25,50 kHz and „high“, 3-4 basic architetures)

- Translate to the „real site language“ in a later step - only then, pure physics arguments should be confronted with technology/infractructure etc. arguments - a site which is clearly weaker in „physics performance“ would have to have strong arguments on the technology/infractructure site to be selected for a km3 detector - Input from the performance of detectors at the Antares/Nestor site as early as possible (not for simulations but for a final decision on architectiure and site).

Main physics goals proposed as basis for benchmarking procedure (cont‘d )  Atm.neutrino oscillations- - not competitive with SK & K2K if not the spacing is made unreasonably small - nested array a la NESTOR 7-tower ? - proposal:  no optimization goal  no benchmark goal  Oscillation studies with accelerators- - too exotic to be included now C.Spiering

The “obvious” way to proceed Simulate the response of an optimum detector (at a given site) to e, μ and τ (vertices). Events are produced equal (or almost equal) probably in phase space. Use standard tools to simulate the physics processes. Include in the simulation the K40 background. Simulate in detail the OM response and ignore effects of (in a first approximation will be the same to all the different designs) the readout electronics, triggering and DAQ. Produce “event tapes” including the “generation” information and the detector response (e.g. deposited charge and arrival time of each PMT pulse). The “event tapes” and the relevant data basis should be available to the other groups. Reconstruct the events and produce DST’s including the “generation” and reconstructed information (e.g. direction, impact parameter, flavor, energy) for each event. The DSTs should be available to the other groups. Produce tables (Ntuples) to express the tracking efficiency and resolution as a function of the direction and energy (and impact parameter) Define the values of the relevant environmental parameters, for the candidate sites, based on published data (water optical properties, K40 background, bioluminescence activity, bio-fouling, atmospheric background fluxes and absorption) S.Tzamarias

1. Light propagation : L sc  30-50m; L abs  20m  for showers with energy up to  10 TeV and muons up to  50 TeV scattering of light in medium can be ignored. For higher energies scattering is taken into account on the base of long term measurements of parameters of scattering. 2. Accurate simulation of time response of a channel on fact of registration is provided. 3. Atmospheric muons: CORSIKA with QGSJET. 4. Muons from atm. neutrino: - cross-sections - CTEQ4M (PDFLIB) - Bartol atm. neutrino flux 5. Angular distribution for hadronic showers is the same as for el.-m. showers. Simulation tool I.Belolaptikov

4. Lepton transport in media and in the array is done by MUM. Showers with energy  20 MeV are considered as catastrophic losses. 5. Dead time and random hits of measuring channels are included in code. Efficiencies of channels are measured experimentally in situ. 6. For simulation of high energy neutrinos we are going to use ANIS code. I.Belolaptikov

Summary Much known about water properties – presumably enough for detector optimization and site comparison Cross calibration measurements done/underway for Antares/Nemo sites, planned to include Nestor site. Lot of comparative simulations done in all three collaborations. Wide spectrum of tools for simulation and reconstruction. Many standard programs common to two or even all three collaborations (Corsika/Hemas, MUM/Music, Geant 3/4,....) May also use tools of Amanda/Baikal Seems to be not too difficult to converge to to common simulation framework for optimization

Next steps in simulation: Form a task force group on detector simulation: - Agree on a working plan (October) - Input to application for a European Design Study (November) - First results on comparative studies to ApPEC (Next spring/summer) - don‘t prioritize site decision in initial phase but just simulate benchmark detectors characterized by a tuple of basic parameters (say depth 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 km, noise 25,50 kHz and „high“, 3-4 basic architetures)
