SOLAR

SolarNuAna_module Output Library for Analysis & Research

Introduction

This module is designed to analyze the output of the SolarNuAna_module. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the DUNE software framework.

Read more about the module here.

Installation

To use the SolarNuAna_module, you must have a working version of the DUNE software framework. This can be done by following the instructions here. Once you were able to run the module on a given set of marley (+ bkg) data, use this repository to analyse the output tree.

git clone https://github.com/CIEMAT-Neutrino/SOLAR.git
cd SOLAR
git checkout -b yourbranch
source scripts/setup.sh

Usage

Once you have the output tree from the SolarNuAna_module, you can use the following scripts to analyze the data.

Macros:

• 00Processing.py: This script will process the output tree from the SolarNuAna_module and save the branches in numpy format for faster access.
• 01Calibration.py: This script will calibrate the (lifetime-corrected) charge-to-energy conversion of the TPC based on marley electrons.
• 02Reconstruction.py: This script will reconstruct the true neutrino energy of the events based on the previous calibration & the topology of the event.
• 03Smearing.py: This script will compute the smearing matrix of the neutrino interactions and weight it with the solar neutrino flux.
• 04Computing.py: This script will execute the full reconstruction workflow of the detector to the solar neutrino flux based on the previous smearing matrix.
• 05Sensitivity.py: This script will compute the sensitivity to the different oscillation parameters (dm2, sin13, sin12) based on the computed reco solar spectrum & background.
