A distinct peak can be seen around 0.5m. Thiscorresponds to the average distance of the tracks and gives a measure for the lateralresolution. Furthermore, a constant offset can be seen, which originates from falsereconstructed tracks randomly distributed. The distribution has been fitted with aGaussian plus a constant offset.interact with the surrounding rock of the Gran Sasso massive producing muons.Thus it can occur that such a rock muon is created in the rock in front of the Borexinodetector and then passes both Borexino and OPERA. OPERA reconstructs thesetracks with a high precision [58]. These tracks can also be used to test the Borexinomuon reconstruction.The OPERA PT 3 uses the drift tube technology described in Section 3.1. Dueto its setup it is only capable of reconstructing 2D tracks. However, the OPERAdetector is made out of more than just the PT. Together with information fromRPCs 4 and a target tracker based on plastic scintillator strips, a 3D track is reconstructed.For a detailed description of the OPERA detector and the 2D trackreconstruction see [58,79]. One major requirement to reduce background in OPERAis an exact time synchronization with the CNGS. CNGS neutrinos are not producedcontinuously, but rather in bunches at discrete times. By knowing the exact timinginformation it is possible to apply a cut on on-time events thus reducing mostbackground. Conveniently, the CNGS “OnTimeStamp” is also distributed to theBorexino DAQ.For a combined analysis all reconstructed on-time tracks that entered the OPERAdetector from either the front or side have been extracted from the OPERA data.This has been done for the 2008, 2009 and the beginning of the 2010 runs. A collectionof CNGS on-time events could be easily extracted also from the Borexinodata. Events from both detectors were then matched by the timestamp informationsimilar to the CMT events. Altogether 2291 common events were found.For the combined analysis all track information was transferred into the Borexino3 PT Precision Tracker4 RPC resistive plate chamber92

For a detailed description of the coordinate transformation seeAppendix D.5.5.1 Direct Angular ComparisonFor a direct comparison of the tracks reconstructed by Borexino and OPERA for thesame muon, the azimuth and polar angles ϕ and θ are obtained for all trackings. Thedistribution of differences between the corresponding angles is shown in Fig. 5.26exemplarily for the OD tracking. Performing a Gaussian fit gives a measure forthe angular resolution of the Borexino reconstruction. The results are presented inTab. 5.7. This shows excellent values for θ, however, the resolution of ϕ is ratherpoor. This can be explained by the method how ϕ is determined in Borexino: muontracks are determined by their entry and exit points to the detector. Since thedetector is spherical, small uncertainties in the determination of these points leadto large uncertainties in ϕ around the poles. This could be accounted for e.g. bylooking at a θ-dependency of σ ϕ .However, another analysis is chosen; the absolute angle α between both tracks ⃗tis determined. This can be done as follows:⃗t bx ·⃗t op = |⃗t bx ||⃗t op |cos α⇔α = cos −1 (sin θ bx sin θ op (cos ϕ bx cos ϕ op + sin ϕ bx sin ϕ op ) + cos θ bx cos θ op )93
