Abstract

The neutrino events in INGRID, ND280 and Super-K are predicted with the Monte Carlo simulations in three steps; a neutrino beam simulation, a neutrino interaction simulation, and detector simulations. This chapter describes details of them.

Notes

  1. 1.

    NEUT was originally developed to estimate the neutrino background for the proton decay search in Kamiokande.

  2. 2.

    The Fermi gas model treats the nucleus as an ideal gas composed of weakly interacting fermions. See Appendix D for details.

  3. 3.

    Such intra-nuclear interactions are often referred to as the final state interactions (FSI) in the neutrino interaction community.

  4. 4.

    The methods of estimating the light yield and hit detection efficiency are described in Appendix B.

  5. 5.

    The ND280 detector simulation was developed independently of INGRID.
