Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
CS predictions First step – standart: 6 prediction are found in CSD, - not found in any of three bricks. Need for more sophisticated approach… I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Veto alignment (pl 57 – veto 58) Two alignments !! Veto was moved during exposure. 500 microns Is the situation with CSD the same? If yes => Search area=1x1mm I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Veto dublet deformations Is the situation with CSD the same? If yes => Angular tolerance ~30 mrad. I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Pl 57 deformations Z Distance CSD – P57 Error up to 300 microns I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Full area scan Emulsions 57,56,55 + CS0,CS1 Full area scan Total number of tracks not found in CSD: about 1300! (No angular constraints) IP=300 microns, >3-fold-pre-vertexing “Pre-vertexing” allows to limit number of SB pathes to 75 (~5%) I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Scanback of pre-vertexed tracks Initially 75 tracks, 32 stops, 28 stops to analyse (pl 3-53), 43 passing No converging stopping tracks….. I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Totalscan around stops I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Visual check : SB path 4248 Smth. interesting SB track I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Vertex found Good vertex ! But there is a sign of incoming track (see prev. slide) I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Volume scan around vertex 577 748 1211 2938 450 Tracks are visible in veto => This is NOT a neutrino event, but HE cosmics reaction I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
After scanback of ~1300 tracks two interesting vertices found I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
After scanback of ~1300 tracks two interesting vertices found I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern

Check presence of tracks in VD (Veto Dublet) Confirmed: NOT in VETO ! I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
NC candidate 1 : detector view Hadronic shower CG fit I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
NC candidate 1 Hits in TT correspond to possible interaction => Likely NC event I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
NC candidate 2 : detector view I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
NC candidate 2 No hits, high IP => unlikely. I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
NC candidates 1,2 Checked presence in the CSD – not found…. . I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Effect on CR density discussion... If no CSD predictions found for one of reasons, then: 1300 tracks to follow => Not possible in 24h/brick Strong selection (maybe few% of total) still leads to fake events (3) Reduction of CR density by factor 5 would be very desirable… I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Predictions from LNGS => Low momentum shower? • Volume scan 2x2cm 57 plates • VTX reconstruction with IP<50 microns, min Nseg=2: • 5189 2-prong vertices (!) • 86 3-prong (too many to check) (left as the last chance) • 7 4-prong (incoming tracks -> rejected) • 1 5-prong (all 2 seg tracks, high IP – rejected) • VTX reconstruction with IP<50 microns, min Nseg=5: • 13 2-prong vertices, 2 correlated with prediction: • #1 incoming track reconstructed with the gap of 4 plates, • #2 incoming track out of volume (re-scanned bigger volume) I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern
Summary on the event search • Standart prediction search gave no consistent tracks in pl 57,56. • Volume scan around predicted tracks => Some candidates, rejected for various reasons. • Fullarea scan with Veto-in cosmics: 1300 tracks to consider • Pre-vertexing procedure applied, no converging tracks, however 28 stops. TotalScan is done visual checks – done. 7-prong CR interaction found, rehearsal of vertex analisys is done on this interaction, all scanning tasks in fully automatic mode. • Scanback of all ~1300 tracks from pl57-55, not found in Veto is complete • One vertex from external interaction is found and confirmed : • - NOT in VETO • - YES in TT • - NOT in CSD • Extract upstream brick?! Reasonable to say Yes. • Event is not found, but the strategy starts to develop. I. Kreslo, LHEP, Bern

Muonless event location strategy First picture of the algorithm becomes clear Worked well for two events so far : One CR and one neutrino (see next talk by C.Pistillo) Very time consuming, but very precious (νμCC events,Tau-> e, Tau-h channels) => firther optimisation (minimisation) is crucial.
