# A method of detector and event visualization with Unity in JUNO

## TL;DR

This paper introduces ELAINA, a Unity-based visualization tool for JUNO neutrino detector events, offering improved visual effects and cross-platform compatibility compared to traditional ROOT-based displays.

## Contribution

The paper presents a novel Unity-based event visualization method and a new tool, ELAINA, enhancing detector visualization and analysis for JUNO experiments.

## Key findings

- ELAINA provides superior visual effects over ROOT-based displays.
- The tool is platform-independent and easy to deploy.
- It effectively aids in detector geometry observation and event analysis.

## Abstract

A visualization method based on Unity engine is proposed for the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) experiment. The method has been applied in development of a new event display tool named ELAINA (Event Live Animation with unIty for Neutrino Analysis), which provides an intuitive way for users to observe the detector geometry, to tune the reconstruction algorithm and to analyze the physics events. In comparison with the traditional ROOT-based event display, ELAINA provides better visual effects with the Unity engine. It is developed independently of the JUNO offline software but shares the same detector description and event data model in JUNO offline with interfaces. Users can easily download and run the event display on their local computers with different operation systems.
