The T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) is a long baseline neutrino experiment designed to study various parameters that rule neutrino oscillations, with an intense beam of muon neutrinos. A near detector complex (ND280) is used to constrain non-oscillated flux and hence to predict the expected number of events in the far detector (Super-Kamiokande). The difference in the target material between the far (water) and near (scintillator, hydrocarbon) detectors leads to the main non-canceling systematic uncertainty for the oscillation analysis. In order to reduce this uncertainty a new water grid and scintillator detector, WAGASCI, has been proposed. The detector will be operated at the J-PARC neutrino beam line with the main physics goal to measure the charged current neutrino cross section ratio between water and hydrocarbon with a few percent accuracy. Further physics program may include high-precision measurements of different charged current neutrino interaction channels.
This Documentation is written in LaTeX and is intended for internal usage only. For this reason, it is missing any introductiory part to the T2K and WAGASCI experiments and it is written as a mere list of recipes to read and follow in order to understand the particular software and hardware infrastructure of the WAGASCI experiment. However everyone on Internet can read it and even contribute if he or she so wishes.
This documentation is still in a very early stage and work-in-progress. It is always updated on the master branch so what you see there is always the latest version available. It may lack any internal coherence and many parts are still a stub. Enybody is welcome to fill the gaps and correct anything if necessary.
Until October 2018 there was no written documentation of the WAGASCI software and hardware and when I (Pintaudi Giorgio) started my PhD at YNU I struggled quite a lot to gather all the information I needed to understand the WAGASCI software and hardware framework. Being WAGASCI an experiment still in progress it is understandable a full-blown documentations is still missing but I felt that it is time to start working on that.
I am compiling this tex file with TeX Live 2018 but any other TeX distribution should be fitting for the task.
