本文描述了一种用于反应堆反中微子实验的μ子径迹重建算法。双闪烁探测器由两个光学隔离的液体闪烁体（PMT可观察到）和一个由交叉闪烁体条组成的外部否决器组成。μ子通过其外部否决命中位置沿着与来自其他两个检测器体积的定时信息来重建。所有的μ子都符合贯穿性和超相对论性的假设。如果能量沉积表明μ子可能已经停止，重建也适合这个假设，并通过相对拟合优度在两者之间进行选择。在理想情况下，一个贯穿的μ介子与探测器的中心相交，在每个横向维度上的分辨率为~ 40 mm。高质量的μ子重建是降低双中微子宇宙成因同位素背景影响的重要手段。
We describe a muon track reconstruction algorithm for the reactor anti-neutrino experiment Double Chooz. The Double Chooz detector consists of two optically isolated volumes of the liquid scintillator viewed by PMTs, and an Outer Veto above these made of crossed scintillator strips. Muons are reconstructed by their Outer Veto hit positions along with timing information from the other two detector volumes. All muons are fit under the hypothesis that they are through-going and ultrarelativistic. If the energy depositions suggest that the muon may have stopped, the reconstruction fits also for this hypothesis and chooses between the two via the relative goodness-of-fit. In the ideal case of a through-going muon intersecting the center of the detector, the resolution is~ 40 mm in each transverse dimension. High quality muon reconstruction is an important tool for reducing the impact of the cosmogenic isotope background in Double Chooz.
