Contribution

The authors developed a Unity-based event display system for JUNO, offering improved visualization and portability compared to the existing ROOT EVE package.

Findings

Enhanced visualization of detector models and particle trajectories

Improved performance and user experience

Cross-platform availability of the event display tool

Abstract

The current event display system in the offline software of Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory Experiment(JUNO) is based on the ROOT EVE package. We use Unity, a renowned game engine, to improve its performance and make it available on different platforms. Compared to ROOT, Unity provides a more vivid demonstration for high energy physics experiments and can be ported to different platforms easily. We build a tool for event display in JUNO with Unity. It provides us an intuitive way to observe the detector model, the particle trajectories and the hit distributions.
