Detector Performance Status and Plans - ESS SB Annual Meeting
At the ESS SB Annual Meeting in Strasbourg, progress on detector performance and plans was discussed. Achievements include setting up a common software framework, developing a data model, and reviving the MEMPHYS code. Tasks for the near and far detectors were outlined, focusing on optimization and simulation challenges. Further work on integrating the detectors into a single facility is planned.

Deliverables Delivered ESS SB annual meeting, Strasbourg, 7.11.2018 5
CA 15139: EuroNuNet Up to now, within EuroNuNet CA15139, we have achieved quite some progress, namely: A common software framework is set up The main software tools/libraries have been chosen and agreed upon. A data model has been developed (needs some more work) The MEMPHYS code has been revived and installed ESS SB annual meeting, Strasbourg, 7.11.2018 6
Work plan: far detector Far detector: MEMPHYS type water Cherenkov detector, 500 kton mass, two tanks; Involved: LU, CU, RBI Tasks: Optimisation of the geometry: standing or lying cylinders, height/diameter ratio. Optimisation of the optical coverage: now 30%, more?, less?, single photo-detector size? Computation of the migration matrix. Tools: MEMPHYS code, MC simulation tool with reconstruction a la SuperKamiokaNDE Questions/problems: Simulation of optical photons transportation in water. Is it OK? Processor time consumption? Optimization? Reconstruction and /e ID. Most up-to-date version of the SK code? Access (TH2K, WCSim)? Comparison? ESS SB annual meeting, Strasbourg, 7.11.2018 7
Near detector Near detector: Fine grained tracker in magnetic field + kton mass water Cherenkov detector Involved: UniSofia, LU, RBI, UniGe Tasks: Fine grained tracker scintillation fibers and slabs simulation, reconstruction Code available within UniSofia group. Refurbishment. Fine grained tracker SuperFGD type simulation, reconstruction Code available within UniGe. Adapt and insert into our framework Participation in the SuperFGD prototype tests summer 2018 at CERN Plans, shifters. UU involvement. ESS SB annual meeting, Strasbourg, 7.11.2018 8
Near detector, contd Kton mass water Cherenkov detector Tasks : adaptation of the MEMPHYS code, then optimization w.r.t. shape and optical coverage Questions/problems: the same as for MEMPHYS Integration into a single facility Tasks: evaluation/optimization of characteristics (neutrino energy reconstruction and /e ID w.r.t. mass, granularity, magnetic field) Computation of the migration matrix ESS SB annual meeting, Strasbourg, 7.11.2018 9
Detector sites Far detector cavern(s): rock properties, excavation, infrastructure Involved: UU, NCSR Demokritos Near detector site: distance from the target, cavern excavation, infrastructure Involved: UU, ESS ESS SB annual meeting, Strasbourg, 7.11.2018 10
