TITUS: Visualization of Neutrino Events in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers

Abstract

The amount and complexity of data recorded by high energy physics experiments are rapidly growing, and with these grow the difficulties in visualizing such data. To study the physics of neutrinos, a type of elementary particles, scientists use liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detectors among other technologies. LArTPCs have a very high spatial resolution and resolve many of the elementary particles that come out of a neutrino interacting within the argon in the detector. Visualizing these neutrino interactions is of fundamental importance to understand the properties of neutrinos, but also monitor and check on the detector conditions and operations. From these ideas, we have developed TITUS, an event display that shows images recorded by these neutrino detectors. TITUS is a software that reads data coming from LArTPC detectors (as well as corresponding simulation) and allows users to explore such data in multiple ways. TITUS is flexible to enable fast prototyping and customization.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
