MINOS Event Files
Where to find the files
At Fermilab the files have been placed directories under:
/afs/fnal.gov/files/data/minos/d4/
Run info
The output files are all FZ exchange format GAFs. They have the name
gminos_rrrrr_ss.fz_gaf, where rrrrr
is the run number and ss is the random number sequence (normally
grouped in runs of 5000 events).

Variations
There are many parameters to vary and combinatorics quickly get complex.
All events are generated in a "far" detector configuration. The MFLX=0
(histogram) flux method is used. There is a center coil that contributes
to dead regions in the tracking, but the mass is not accounted for in
the generation of neutrino interactions. In every case there are three
supermodules (with 1m separation). A supermodule contains either
200 (4cm Fe) or 400 (2cm Fe) detector planes.
- Iron "B"
-
- 4cm plates (8m octogon, old field)
- 2cm plates (8m octogon, old field)
- 6cm plates (8m octogon, old field)
- 8cm plates (8m octogon, old field)
- Detector "D"
-
- LST 1cm x 1cm profile with aluminum comb and
9.0% Ar, 70.0% CO2, 21.0% isobutane gas
(currently no digitization - only hits available)
- FLS 2cm x 2cm cells
- FLS 1cm x 2cm cells (smaller transverse segmentation)
- FLS 4cm x 2cm cells (larger transverse segmentation)
- Flavor "F"
-
- no oscillation
- (nu_e --> nu_mu) (nu_mu --> nu_tau) (nu_tau --> nu_e)
- (nu_e --> nu_tau) (nu_mu --> nu_e) (nu_tau --> nu_mu)
- single electrons
- single pi+ hadrons
The run number is constructed from the conditions: "BDFxx". The "xx"
differentiates different runs of the similar conditions.
If people have a particular configuration that they'd like to see run
before the others they should inform me (Robert Hatcher) and I'll push
it up in the queue.
When processing the single particle files, the "xx" code is broken down
further with the 10's place designating the energy and the 1's place
for distinquishing similar runs. The default configuration was to
generate 4000 events of each setup. The energies were:
- 2 GeV
- 5 GeV
- 7.5 GeV (skipped)
- 10 GeV
- 15 GeV (skipped)
- 20 GeV
- 25 GeV (skipped)
Notes:
The stated cell sizes are approximate to account for cell wall thicknesses.
Anti-neutrino "oscillations" follow the same pattern as the neutrinos.
The flavor designated in the "nu" table column is the predominant type --
not exclusive! The original flux contains the appropriate amount of
nu_e and anti-neutrino contamination. These get oscillated by the same
fixed permutation. The original flavor is also available in the
NeuKin Eset. Thus those runs with labelled mu still
represent what would be seen if no oscillations occurred.
