Comparison of SK1 data and SK1 MC (for likelihood variables)
Back to T2KK studies
Back to Homepage






In order to make sure that the variables that are being used in the Likelihood study make sense. I compared each of the variables between data and MC using the SK-I atmospheric dataset/MC.

Of course, only the variables that do not require to know the true direction of the neutrino are compared here.

In all previous plots, I used Nakayama's MC. Just as a checked I reapplied polfit2 to 9 MC files.
Now they agree, so the problem comes probably from a different version of polfit between Nakayama-san and me. The question is: who is right??

Here are the plots comapring my polfit2 to data, you can see real difference in Diff likelihood and pi0_e(1,1):
dlfct
probms
pi0 mass
Diff likelihood (Fanny)
Diff likelihood (Nakayama)
pi0_e(2,1) 
pi0_e(1,1) (Fanny)
pi0_e(1,1) (Nakayama)
and energy fraction

Just updated a few plots:
for the difference of likelihood:

with polfit2 (see the big difference at high energies)
without polfit2 (good agreement)

Most of the variables looked fine as you can see on the following plots:

Those plots are split in energy bins (0-350MeV/ 350-850MeV/850-1500MeV/ above 1500MeV)
black = sk1data with polfit2, red = MC with polfit2
(NB: the events are fully contained, inside FV, 1ring, elike, no decay electron)

dlfct
probms
pi0 mass
pi0_e(2,1) ,
pi0_e(1,1) and energy fraction

But the difference between the 2 likelihood given by polfit (pi0like(1)-pi0like(2)) is significantly different at high energy as you can see in the following plots:
