Description
Following the decommissioning of the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) experiment, muon and hadron monitors have emerged as essential diagnostic tools for the NuMI Off-axis nu_mu Appearance (NOvA) experiment at Fermilab. For this study, we use a combination of muon monitor simulation and measurement data to study the monitor responses to variations in proton beam and lattice parameters. We also apply pattern-recognition algorithms to develop machine-learning-based models to establish correlations between muon monitor signals, primary beam parameters, and neutrino flux at the detectors.
