Scripts for simulating a supernova neutrino burst in Hyper-Kamiokande.

Required Input

Text file(s) containing information about neutrino fluxes. Multiple input formats are supported; see the source files in the formats/ directory for details.

Garching format:

Three separate text files (one each for nu_e, anti-nu_e and nu_x - where nu_x stands for nu_mu or nu_tau or their respective antineutrinos), each containing time, mean energy, mean squared energy and luminosity. See sample-in.txt for details.

Totani format:

Used by Totani et al. 1998, which is the baseline model in the Hyper-Kamiokande Design Report.

Nakazato format:

Used by recent simulations by Nakazato et al., available for download here.

Interaction Channels

Currently the four main interaction channels in water Cherenkov detectors are supported: inverse beta decay, elastic scattering on electrons and charged current interactions of nu_e and anti-nu_e on oxygen-16 nuclei. For details, see the files in interaction_channels/.

Output:

A .kin file in the NUANCE format used by the /mygen/vecfile options in WCSim. See the format documentation for details.

Typical Usage:

python genevts.py infile --format=garching -o outfile.kin --hierarchy=normal --channel=ibd

This assumes the three input files (in Garching format) are named infile_e.txt, infile_eb.txt and infile_x.txt.

See

python genevts.py -h

for a full description of these and other options.
