Description
By reconstructing the arrival position and time of photons produced in
water or liquid scintillator on highly segmented fast photo-detectors one can
reconstruct tracks by using the `drift time' of photons, much as one does
with electrons in a Time Projection Chamber. I will present recent advances in event reconstruction techniques that are being developed in the context of a recently proposed THEIA detector with a broad physics program including
neutrinoless double beta decay, solar neutrinos, geo-neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, nucleon decay, and long baseline neutrino physics.
