超级神冈(Super-Kamiokande)中微子探测器位于日本池野山下,用于研究中微子粒子物理。Super-K探测器由一个圆柱形不锈钢水箱(高41.4米,直径39.3米)和13,031个光电倍增管(PMT)组成,水箱内装有50,000吨水。为了查看这些传感器捕获的数据,许多物理学家使用2D可视化工具,这些工具在圆柱体的解构表示上呈现颜色编码的数据。不幸的是,这种解构的可视化使物理学家很难完全可视化中微子相互作用的模式。为了解决这个问题,我们开发了一种名为“Super-KAVE”的新型虚拟现实(VR)应用程序,该应用程序使用CAVE使用户沉浸在Super-K探测器的真人大小表示中。Super-KAVE显示光子传感器及其颜色编码数据的搭配,为中微子相互作用模式提供了一种新的可视化技术,并支持数据事件之间的转换。在本文中,我们描述了超级K探测器及其数据,讨论了我们的超级KAVE应用程序的设计和实现,并报告其预期用途。
Located under Japan's Mount Ikenoyama, the Super-Kamiokande (or “Super-K”) neutrino detector is used to study neutrino particle physics. The Super-K detector consists of a cylindrical stainless steel tank (41.4m tall and 39.3m in diameter) holding 50,000 tons of water and 13,031 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). To view the data captured by these sensors, many physicists use 2D visualization tools which present the data color-coded on a deconstructed representation of the cylinder. Unfortunately, this deconstructed visualization makes it difficult for physicists to fully visualize patterns of neutrino interactions. To address this, we have developed a novel virtual reality (VR) application called “Super-KAVE”, which uses a CAVE to immerse users in a lifesize representation of the Super-K detector. Super-KAVE displays the collocation of photon sensors and their color-coded data, provides a new visualization technique for neutrino-interaction patterns, and supports transitioning between data events. In this paper, we describe the Super-K detector and its data, discuss the design and implementation of our Super-KAVE application, and report on its expected uses.
