论文摘要
对液体氩量热法涉及的物理学的彻底建模对于准确预测沙丘的性能并优化其设计和分析管道至关重要。在基本水平上，必须在不同的注射能量量化对单个黑质的检测器响应 - 质子，带电的乳头和中子。我们报告了这样的模拟，在不同的假设下进行了有关事件重建的假设，例如粒子识别和中子检测。事件遏制的作用也被量化。该仿真的结果可以帮助通知ProtoDune测试束数据分析，同时还提供了一个框架来评估各种横截面不确定性的影响。
Thorough modeling of the physics involved in liquid argon calorimetry is essential for accurately predicting the performance of DUNE and optimizing its design and analysis pipeline. At the fundamental level, it is essential to quantify the detector response to individual hadrons---protons, charged pions, and neutrons---at different injection energies. We report such a simulation, analyzed under different assumptions about event reconstruction, such as particle identification and neutron detection. The role of event containment is also quantified. The results of this simulation can help inform the ProtoDUNE test-beam data analysis, while also providing a framework for assessing the impact of various cross section uncertainties.
