30 Beam Matrix Prediction & Near Detector Data : RunI/RunIIa 30
31 Effect of MC tuning on the measurement Far Predicted Spectra using the Beam Matrix and with/without hadron production tuning Using tuned MC for energy smearing and acceptance corrections Using nominal MC for energy smearing and acceptance corrections Ratio of Far Prediction using the Beam Matrix and with/without hadron production tuning Using tuned MC for energy smearing and acceptance corrections Using nominal MC for energy smearing and acceptance corrections Using Beam Matrix Method, hadron production tuning does not affect the Unoscillated prediction (obtained from the ND data) by more than 1-2%. However, its use improves the MC (make it more similar to the data) and therefore uncertainties due to energy smearing- unsmearing and acceptance become smaller. 31
32 MINOS: new analysis 2007 New PID has higher overall efficiency and higher background rejection (less contamination from NC interactions) 32
33 MINOS: Near Detector Data/MC normalized to area Event Vertices (X Y Z) Track Angles (X Y Z) 33
34 MINOS: systematic uncertainties The main remaining systematic uncertainties are Near/Far normalization, absolute hadronic energy scale and NC contamination Overall systematics reduced by use of near detector Uncertainty Shift in Δm 2 (10-3 ev 2 ) Shift in sin 2 (2θ) Near/Far normalization ±4% <0.005 Absolute hadronic energy scale ±10% <0.005 NC contamination ±50% All other systematic uncertainties <0.005 Total systematic (in quadrature) Statistical error (data)
