A new monitoring data tool for MINOS+

  • 1. Universidade Federal de Goias, Goiania (Brazil)

Description

Full text: Monitoring the data taking process is one of the most important and critical parts of every High Energy Physics (HEP) experiment. This guarantees the reliability and good quality of the data taken. It also allows detecting and tracking down the different problems associated with the detector operations. The MINOS+ experiment is the continuation of the former MINOS neutrino experiment, which operated from August 2003 to April 2012. MINOS+ will continue exposing the two MINOS detectors (Near and Far) to the NuMI muon neutrino beam for three years starting in 2013. The medium energy setting of the NuMI beam projected for NO νA will deliver about 18 X 1020 protons-on-target during the first three years of operation. This will allow the MINOS Far Detector to collect more than 10,000 charged current muon neutrino events in the 4-10 GeV energy range, providing an accurate test for non-standard neutrino interactions, sterile neutrinos, extra dimensions, neutrino time-of-flight, and perhaps more. In this poster we show the full MINOS+ monitoring process, how this process is done, the several tools used to perform this task, and specially, the web monitoring data tool developed and implemented by the HEP group of the Federal University of Goiania as a contribution for the MINOS+ experiment.
