2D Grid method
– Bin data in reconstructed Eν & y
– Fit weight as a function of true Eν & y
Near to far ratio– Look at differences between data and MC in Near
Detector as a function of reconstructed Energy
– Apply correction factor to each bin of re-constructed energy to Far Detector MC: c = ndata / nMC
Beam matrix– It uses the measure Near Detector distribution and
extrapolates it using a BEAM Matrix to the Far Detector.

Flux determination at a neutrino factory (Blondel)
2. Beam Diagnostics2. Beam Diagnostics
polarization controls e flux:
+ -X> e in forward direction
Main parameters to MONITOR 1. Total number of muons circulating in the ring: BCT, near detector for purely leptonic processes 2. muon beam polarisation, polarimeter 3. muon beam energy and energy spread, race-track or triangle. NO BOW-TIE! +polarimeter 4. muon beam angle and angular divergence. straight section design +beam divergence monitors e.g. Cerenkov? 5. Theory of decay, including radiative effects OK
We believe that the neutrino flux can be monitored to 10-3 IF+ design of accelerator foresees sufficient diagnostics. + quite a lot of work to do to design and simulate these diagnostics.

3. Near Detector Beam Flux3. Near Detector Beam Flux
Near detector(s) are some distance (d~30-1000 m)
from the end of straight section of the muon storage ring. Muons decay at different points of straight section: near detector is
sampling a different distribution of neutrinos to what is being seen by the far detector

If decay straight is L=100m and
d =30 m, at 8 rad, lateral
displacement of neutrinos is
0.25-1.0mm to subtend same angle.

4. Near Detector Design4. Near Detector Design Charm event selection:
Efficiency very low: 3.5% for D0, D+ and 12.7% for Ds
+ detection because fiducial volume very small (72cmx36cmx15cm), only 5 layers and only one projection.
From 109 CC events/yr, about 3.1x106 charm events, but efficiencies can be improved.

4. Near Detector Design4. Near Detector Design
Passive target can provide target mass, but affects vertex and tracking reconstruction efficiency due to scatters
Improve efficiency by having 2D space point measurement and more silicon planes.
For example: 52 kg mass can be provided by 18 layers of Si 500 m thick, 50 x 50 cm2 (ie. 4.5 m2 Si) and 15 layers of B4C, 5 mm thick
Optimal design: fully pixelated detector (could benefit from Linear Collider developments in MAPS, DEPFET or Column Parallel CCD). With pixel size: 50 m x 400 m 200 M pixels, ~0.4 X0
Could also use silicon “3D” detectors or double sided silicon strips (with long ladders of 50 cm x 50 m 360 k pixels).
Will start R&D on MAPS and DEPFET at Glasgow from October this year – MI3 collaboration (MAPS) & Bonn University (DEPFET)

5. Near Detector R&D Plans5. Near Detector R&D Plans R&D programme1) Vertex detector options: hybrid pixels, monolithic pixels (ie. CCD, Monolithic
Active Pixels MAPS or DEPFET) or strips. Synergy with other fields such as Linear Collider Flavour Identification (LCFI) collaboration.
2) Tracking: gas TPC (is it fast enough?), scintillation tracker (same composition as far detector), drift chambers?, cathode strips?, liquid argon (if far detector is LAr), …
3) Particle identification: dE/dx, Cherenkov devices such as Babar DIRC?, Transition Radiation Tracker?
4) Calorimetry: lead glass, CsI crystals?, sampling calorimeter?
5) Magnet: UA1/NOMAD/T2K magnet?, dipole or other geometry?
Collaboration with theorists to determine physics measurements to be carried out in near detector and to minimise systematic errors in cross-sections, etc.

ConclusionsConclusions There is important synergy between existing (or planned) experiments
such as MINOS and T2K and the technology for future near detectors. Cross-sections and fluxes remain an issue. Learning the techniques that these experiments are adopting helps to formalise the problem that we will face at a neutrino factory.
A near detector at a neutrino factory needs to measure flux and cross-sections with unprecedented accuracy. Beam diagnostic devices need to be prototyped
It is worth noting that the beams measured by a near detector if it is close to straight sections (<100m) are quite different from far detector. However, at 1 km, beams start to look very similar.
We should start having some idea of what a near detector should look like. One proposal is to use the old UA1 magnet (like in NOMAD and T2K) once more.
The near detector should have a vertex detector, tracking planes, particle identification, calorimetry and muon identification. The dipole filed between 0.4-0.7 T can provide good muon momentum resolution.
R&D plans are not very well defined at the moment
