Muon Acceptances for Neutrino Charged Current Interactions at Captain-Minerva for 2 < Evµ < 10 GeV

CAPTAIN-MINERνA is a fusion of the CAPTAIN (Cryogenic Apparatus for Precision Tests of Argon Interactions with Neutrinos) and the MINER_A (Main Injector Experiment for ν-A) detectors at Fermilab Muon Neutrino beamline (NuMI beamline), aimed at making detailed studies of neutrino interactions with argon which will be relevant for future neutrino oscillation experiments. In this dissertation, we present the muon acceptances for charged current interactions in CAPTAIN-MINERνA at muon neutrino energies around 6 GeV. GENIE 2.8.4 is used to gen- erate 132,589 neutrino charged current interactions with argon in the CAPTAIN detector and GEANT4 is employed to simulate the muon trajectories. All simulations use a simple geometry of the CAPTAIN-MINERνA detector elaborated by the MINERνA collaboration. Finally, the CAPTAIN detector is divided in four sectors and the muon acceptances from each sector are calculated.
