2. 04/04/2008LNGS, OPERA Collaboration Meeting2 /Dmitry V.Naumov eccVMC – as an exercise While among us there are experienced people, most are students... thus we did an exercise: Wrote a Virtual MC application with G3, G4, and FLUKA all working Use OpNeg for neutrino vertex generation + own generators for user wanted tracks +... call emulsion reconstruction algorithms if desired Build ROOT based GUI and batch for manipulation with simulated and reconstruction events

8. 04/04/2008LNGS, OPERA Collaboration Meeting8 /Dmitry V.Naumov Aligning of ECC plates with cosmic pit muons Ideal caseRealistic case + ignore the reality...suggested to us by V.Tioukov

9. 04/04/2008LNGS, OPERA Collaboration Meeting9 /Dmitry V.Naumov Analysis Strategy: Do NOT introduce misalignment but try to align the ECC plates with base-tracks left by muons + produced particles Two steps: Study alignment with muons of definite energy and direction Study how much muons are needed in order to reach the requested alignment accuracy Study alignment with a realistic flux: muon, electrons, photons, etc We use a simulation of flux by M.Sioli (thanks!) for 72 hours
