Neutrino Candidate Selection

Prompt signal Evis = [0.7, 12.2] MeV

Delayed signal Evis = [6.0, 12.0] MeV

Delayed Coincidence Δt = [2, 100] µsec

Require Δt μ > 1 msec

PMT light noise rejection cuts

• PMT hits approx. homogeneous

• PMT hits approx. coincident in time

Multiplicity conditions:

• No extra events around signal

Background rejection:

• No coincident signal in OV

• Require Δt μ > 500 msec if Eμ > 600 MeV

Plus three irreducible backgrounds:

• Accidentals

• Cosmogenic 9Li

• Fast neutrons/stopping muons

Preliminary

Trigger efficiency• Threshold at 400keV (ε=50%)• ε=100% above 700keV

Minimum visible energy of ν signalPrompt

energy cut

• 41% of 9Li BG is rejected by additional muon veto (~5% live-time loss)

• 28% of fast neutron/stop μ BG is rejected by OV anticoincidence

Candidate Rate Variation

Before 9Li reduction cut, no OV anticoincidence applied

Not background-subtracted Rate consistent with expectation

Cross-check: Reconstructed Vertex Position

Events well-localized within target Note: no spatial cuts applied in candidate selection

Detector Calibration

1. PMT and electronics gain non-linearity calibration

LED light injection system

2. Correct for position dependence

Spallation neutron H captures

3. Correct for time stability Spallation neutron Gd

captures

4. Energy scale Radioactive sources deployed
