Muon simulation at the Daya Bay site
نویسندگان
چکیده
With a good-resolution mountain profile, we simulated the underground muon flux at the Daya Bay site. We modified the standard Gaisser’s formula to describe the muon flux at the sea-level. At large zenith angle or small muon energies, which may be important in the Daya Bay case, the modified formula describe the experimental data much better than the standard one. MUSIC code was used to transport muon through the mountain rock. The muon flux, mean energy, energy distribution and angular distribution are presented for the Daya Bay and Ling Ao near sites, the mid site, and the far site, respectively.

متن کاملBackground Effects in Day Bay Neutrino Oscillation Experiment
The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment aims to measure the last unknown neutrino mixing parameter θ13 with a sensitivity of sin 2θ13 < 0.01 at 90% C.L. To achieve this goal it is necessary to investigate all possible background effects that may contribute to the signal measurements, and to estimate related uncertainties. A muon capture is one of processes that may contribute the backgrounds o...
متن کاملA Study of Systematic Uncertainties in the Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment using the GLoBES Software
The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment is designed to set a precision upper limit on, if not pin-point, the value of the θ13 neutrino oscillation parameter. As shown in the parameterized Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix, accurate measurement of θ13 may enable the study of CP violation in the lepton sector, in addition to supporting our understanding of neutrino oscillation arising from ...
متن کاملSearch for sterile neutrinos with a radioactive source at Daya Bay
The far site detector complex of the Daya Bay reactor experiment is proposed as a location to search for sterile neutrinos with eV mass. Antineutrinos from a 500 kCi Ce-Pr -decay source ( Q 1⁄4 2:996 MeV) would be detected by four identical 20-ton antineutrino targets. The site layout allows flexible source placement; several specific source locations are discussed. In one year, the 3þ 1 steril...
