Description
The precise reconstruction of charged particle tracks in homogeneous liquid scintillator (LSc)
neutrino detectors, e.g., from muons, is an important prerequisite for the efficient rejection of
cosmogenic background events or the analysis of multi-GeV neutrino interactions. Topological
information on such events, i.e., the reconstructed 3D density distribution of isotropically emitted
scintillation photons, opens up new ways to accomplish these tasks. Especially future multi-kiloton
LSc detectors like JUNO will profit from improved (muon) track reconstruction possibilities, both
regarding their low- and high-energy neutrino physics programs.
Furthermore, the method presented here can also give valuable information on events traditionally
thought as point-like (MeV). This offers the potential for particle discrimination at energies relevant
for solar- or reactor-neutrino programs. First results towards this goal using the JUNO-MC
environment are presented here.
