Performance of the Eos detector with water
Abstract
In this manuscript we present the first results from Eos, a four tonne optical detector located at the University of California, Berkeley. The primary goal of Eos is to demonstrate the performance capabilities of scintillation-based, 'hybrid' detector technology for future neutrino detectors. The data presented were collected while both the inner target vessel and the outer buffer vessel were filled with water. The water target acts as a well-understood medium that produces only Cherenkov light, which can be used to calibrate and develop the detector model and reconstruction algorithms prior to the deployment of scintillating material. Using deployed optical and radioactive calibration sources, a series of detailed detector calibrations are performed. These enable a suite of tests for various reconstruction algorithms. Simulations that use calibrated models are compared with the data across a variety of different types of calibration sources, source positions, and rotations.
