Design notes and metrics of LBNE detectors and data¶

FD: 10 kt underground 80 APA design, 3.45m drift¶

• TPC Channel Count: 204,800
• PD Channel Count: 800
• ADC sampling rate: 2 MHz
• Drift velocity: 1.6 mm/usec
• ADC samples per drift window: 4312 (+ some for cosmics)
• Total raw data per drift window (16 bits/channel/sample): 1.8 GBytes
  plus photon data plus extra readout before and after drift window,
  let's call it 2 GB.

• Zero-suppressed beam neutrino scattering event: 10 MBytes, without noise
  Assume similar for atmospheric neutrinos and cosmogenics.
  Surface events are ~300 Mbytes but have ~100 cosmics on them.

• We can always dial our zero-suppression thresholds down to the point
  where we collect 39Ar decay data and other radiologicals, but we
  only want a fraction of that data.

• Beam events: LBNE ME row of Table 4.1 of DocDB 8087
  19318 (=numu osc + nue_beam + numu_NC + nutau + nue CC osc largest option)
  in 50 kt years, scale down by factor of 5 for 10 kT and get: 4K events/yr in 10 kt.

• Atmospheric neutrinos: Table 4.11 in DocDB 8087
  28769 interactions in 100 kt-years: 3K events/yr in 10 kt

• ND, about 100 kbytes/spill, for 80% uptime: 2.4 TB/year.

Earlier mail from Tom (10/18/13) mentioned 100MB per event in the surface option (just for reference).

Assuming 30MB per event (for the 34t), we still end up with 1PB per year.
