Description
In search for rare events such as the neutrinoless double-beta decay, SNO+ must ensure that every run used for physics analysis is collected with reliable detector conditions. Thus, it is crucial that the SNO+ data passes certain quality checks throughout its data-acquisition chain to produce physics data that can be trusted. While failed run data is excluded from physics analysis, it also produces a valuable record for the detector's history. This analysis follows the rejected runs through the DAQ chain and detector history to investigate where failures are detected, which criteria are involved, how often they occur, and which failures may have common underlying conditions. By studying more than 20,000 runs and around 50 run-selection criteria, this study aims to connect run selection failures to the SNO+ electronics and understand what failed runs show about the detector behaviour over time.
