Description
The target unit of the OPERA detector, the so called brick, is made of lead plates acting as the neutrino target interleaved with nuclear emulsion films acting as trackers with micrometric accuracy. In this paper we report the nuclear emulsion analysis chain, from the confirmation of the electronic detector trigger for the brick tagging to the neutrino interaction vertex location and reconstruction.
