Description
The TRopIcal DEep-sea Neutrino Telescope (TRIDENT) is a next-generation underwater Cherenkov neutrino telescope, set to be deployed 3 km below sea level in a 7 km³ area of the South China Sea. TRIDENT's mission to explore cosmic ray phenomena using high-energy astrophysical neutrinos faces challenges from high-energy atmospheric muons. These muons, triggering detections at a kHz rate, significantly obscure neutrino signals. However, the abundant data from these interactions also offer a unique opportunity for the calibration of the TRIDENT simulation framework. This study focuses on the simulation and analysis of high-energy atmospheric muons under deep-sea conditions and presents a preliminary strategy for calibrating the TRIDENT simulations using atmospheric muon data.
