Reconstructing High-Fidelity Light Yield Maps for Surface LArTPCs Using Crossing Cosmic Muons

arXiv:2608.21581v2 Announce Type: new Abstract: Photon detection systems in liquid argon time projection chambers provide prompt scintillation light information that can improve triggering, timing, calorimetry, and interaction reconstruction. These applications require an understanding of the spatial dependence of the detected light yield (LY), which is not adequately described by a single detector-wide average. We present a method for reconstructing voxelized 3D light yield maps in surface...
